Renowned for her casual sportswear, she was an early innovator incorporating functional elements into fashion design. The purpose of this study was to examine a selection of Cashin's garments in order to find unique or distinctive elements in the patterns of her work. This study focused on garments from the University of Cincinnati's collection that were produced from the 1960s through the 1970s. Fifty of Cashin's most significant designs were selected from the collection. Exact measurements were taken from the actual garments and flat sketches were drawn indicating size specifications in order to develop precise patterns. Each of the developed patterns was examined and analyzed by grouping into garment categories including coats, jackets, blouses, skirts, pants, dresses, ponchos, and capes. Based upon the pattern analyses, the predominant characteristics in Cashin's pattern work dating from the 1960s through the 1970s were determined. As a result, it was obvious that Bonnie Cashin always put functional elements in her patterns to meet the needs of active women's lifestyles. The patterns of her most distinctive garments were extremely simple and did not contain unnecessary seam shaping or darting. Her simplicity and cleanness of line consistently responded to the patterns of living. Because of this, Cashin's work has been defined as "functional minimalism." 2002-05-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1021996954 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1021996954 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
