Abstract
Today, in the fashion sector, which can be regarded as the driving force behind Turkish exports, the need for designs and designers is increasing day by day in parallel with the developments in domestic and foreign markets. The process of production in the fashion sector can be divided into four groups, namely design, planning, production and marketing. The fundamental properties of the product are determined in the design department, which constitutes the basis of the production process. In this study, the purpose was to investigate how effects having or not having technical knowledge related to the garment production process on fashion designers’ designs. This study, in which qualitative research methods were used, was conducted using the case study design. For the sample group, criterion sampling, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used and four designer were selected as the sample group. Research data were collected through interview, observation and document review. The data that were collected were evaluated through description and comparative analysis and then made into a report. After evaluation of research findings it has been reached that designers with technical knowledge on garment production process scored higher points on their illustrations. In terms of sub dimensions, in evaluations related to creativity dimensions, designers with technical knowledge, even with a slight difference, scored higher. When design is studied in terms of commercial value which is the other sub dimension, again, points of designers with technical knowledge fount higher.
