Description

This unit culminates in the development of the fashion collection to a professional level for presentation through performance and/or exhibition. Understanding of the design process, the ability to contextually reflect upon the concept, and the creative integration of theory and applied skills will culminate in an individual exhibition of a thematic visual project. The fashion collection should demonstrate a rigorous investigation of processes applied as a coherent body of work.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Outline clear intentions for a coherent body of work/fashion collection based on self-directed research.
  2. Operate independently to a timeline to produce a body of work/ fashion collection that is formally, aesthetically and conceptually consistent with proposed goals.
  3. Evaluate the theoretical and historical context of their thematic work through associated research and oral presentation.
  4. Resolve the fashion collection in technically and aesthetically appropriate ways for its presentation in a professional context.
  5. Produce visual and written material that supports the contextual presentation of the body of work/fashion collection.

Unit Content

  1. Theoretical and practical methodologies for developing a fashion collection.
  2. Practical studio work to make the fashion collection.
  3. Refining the self-directed body of work/collection in ways that are appropriate to proposed context and intention.
  4. Self-directed research into relevant designers/artists to contextualise practice.
  5. Developing a personal praxis.
  6. Presentation of the collection and/or body of creative work for a professional context including image representation.

Additional Learning Experience Information

Students work in the fashion and textiles studios to develop self-directed design outcomes with tutorial style support and feedback from the lecturer and studio assistance from the technician where required. Work aims and objectives are outlined in a written proposal and timeline, with students building upon self-assessment and time management strategies introduced in prior units.
