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.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass FAS3104.

Equivalent Rule
