[edit] Image Creation Requests

Please post all image creation requests here.

NOTICE: I am moving cross country between June 1 and June 15. Any pending requests/projects will have to wait.

[edit] History of Clothing

I noticed we are redirecting to another article now. I'm back translating from the French, are we going to merge, or should I finish the translation first? LaVieEntiere (talk) 05:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twill

Hallo, i found you "twill"- and you "plain weave"-image while i was searching for some basic images to explain woven fabrics in my diploma-thesis. i liked it very much and i wanted to ask for you permission to use it. furthermore, i want to ask you if you could also draw a similar image that shows satin weave?!

[edit] ===

I think we could use some diagrams illustrating various twill weaves, but I haven't been able to create anything I am happy with. Can you help? - PKM 16:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely! Sorry about the delay. Jauncourt 15:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Let me know if you want to incorporate the diagrams into the article, or if you want someone else to take a stab at it. - PKM 16:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

If you'd like to add what I've got now, that'd be fine. I'm working up the last few diagrams. Which version (dark gray/light gray, all light gray or light gray/white background mesh) do you think works best? Jauncourt 00:15, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

These are really great!! I've been staring at them trying to decide which one is clearer for the non-specialist. Torn between dark gray/light gray and light gray/white background mesh. I'd probably pick the dark/light and use the small ones in the article at good size. - PKM 16:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah! Good - I need a second set of eyes, after staring at the images so long! I thought the dark and light gray mesh was best, but a second opnion always helps.

I'm done creating the chevron, herringbone, and bird's eye twill variations, and the weft-faced versions of all weave structure examples. I just have to get them all exported to PNG and SVG, and create small detail versions suitable for insertion in articles. I'll post a note under twill on your talk page when I've got them uploaded to let you know. Jauncourt 03:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks; I missed this comment and added two already but I hope to build a gallery onbe you're all done. - PKM 03:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All Other Questions

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to WikiPedia and the fashion project in particular. Don't be shy or diffident about adding quality content - one of our mantras is "be bold" and I encourage you to do so. It's polite to ask for input before radically restructuring long complex articles or category hierarchies, but it is always acceptable to put real, referenced content in place of banal generalities from tertiary sources that are 40 years out of date.

We can really use an editor with a research-oriented interest in medieval clothing and textiles - I hope you will help with 1200-1300 in fashion when that gets going (and feel free to start it if you like - you can use the outline of 1400-1500 in fashion as a template, as there seems to be consensus that it's our most full-realized entry in the series - otherwise it may be while until anyone gets to it).

I find that my most fun with WikiPedia is tag-teaming to create articles with other editors - I look forward to collaborating with you. - PKM 16:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

PS - It's fine to post skeletons or stubs of long articles and fill them out over time so the work isn't so daunting (and it also allows others to chime in). Run through the History of 1400-1500 in fashion to see what I mean. - PKM 16:47, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Fashion article on Andrew Saul

Just a heads up that Andrew Saul (ex-CEO of Cache and Brooks Bros.) has been nominated for featured article status here. Any input, comment and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, there is not that much info on him as it relates to the fashion industry, and being an !expert, I'm not quite sure how well I can flesh it out. Please feel free to comment and/or improve the article. Thanks! MrPrada 21:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
