A line represents a string of concept that reflects in your designs.  No matter what piece of clothing you create, in the same line, the same concept should emanate from all pieces.  There are certain key practices you should follow while planning your line:

 

1.  Limit your line – As you are a budding designer, you may not have all the finances you need immediately.  Focus instead on the quality of your collection.  Every piece ought to be brilliant.  Every piece you add to the line should express the concept you have in mind.  Keep your focus on creating just one or two pieces, if you must. You don’t have to create many products for one line.  You can create essentials that express your concept and that can be used effectively by your customer.

2. Make your design concept concise – You may have a number of ideas in your mind regarding your line.  They may be scattered or off tangent with each other.  You need to put all the ideas together and weed out those that make your line seem digressing. You could take expert opinion for this purpose. Keep those pieces that best express your concept.  Your designs should look like a collection when they are on display.

3. The designs need to be in balance with each other. They must seem like part of the whole.  There should be a flow in the designs.  If you feel you have missed out an essential piece you could add one.  The pieces should complement each other in colour and design.  Your customers should be able to make an entire ensemble out of them or wear every piece separately.  For instance, the brand W has kurtas, churidars, pants, duppattas, accessories, and jackets.  Each piece can be used separately or worn together.  The colours and prints are such that you can mix and match and create an ensemble.
