Definition • The fashion studio is a dedicated working environment in which the fashion designer tests and explores ideas. The basic function of a design studio or sample room is to enable the designer to produce a prototype or final sample. (John Hopkins, Fashion Design: The Complete Guide) • A Design Studio can be defined as both a physical space or a more conceptual methodology for collaborative ideas development. (Rachel Hawkins, Virtu Design Institute)

THE PHYSICAL • The physical workplace for designers and artists either working as an individual, individuals working side by side or a group of collaborators.

The Space • This is where you will generate your work (and your income)! • usually includes 1. 2. 3. 4. furniture and equipment appropriate for the designer to work extending to desks, work benches, computer equipment, meeting rooms and possibly large presentation boards and screens. • For example, Freelancers and artists often surround themselves with collected material such as photos, clippings and other objects from which they can draw inspiration.

The space • Home office • Meeting Space • Commercial space • Things to consider while selecting the space • Presentation facility Some of office/studio spaces are generic and clinical in setup which does not enhance the creative process while others embrace creativity and are built specially to engage the designer, change perspective and create a comfortable and inspirational place to work.

The Size • The size and convenience of the space depends on the type of the Studio. • For instance, Freelance designers often have a small set up of their own, often at home, the smallest being within their apartment or bedroom. • The ambiance of a Design Studio is often notable for its informality.

The Team • The number of designers working in a typical design studio may vary widely from a single individual to up to 1000 members. • In such large studios apart from designers the staff may also consist of other technicians and artisans engaged in illustrating, prototyping, engineering in addition to administrative staff.
