Overview
This unit builds developmentally on previous fashion studio knowledge to navigate the structure and requirements of professional fashion contexts. It develops effective skills to communicate and realise design ideas in an integrated studio environment. It provides expanded knowledge and skills for the theory and practice of fashion design and includes practical skills and knowledge of pattern cutting, garment construction and applied technologies for the communication of design ideas. Embedded in this unit is a focus on ethical practices. The suite of Fashion Design Studio units form the foundation of learning for understanding fashion design in the Bachelor of Design (Fashion Design) program.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Research and synthesise a broad range of resources and apply conceptual thinking to a societal context.
- Demonstrate creative and analytical ways to solve design problems and realise design ideas involving complex fabrication.
- Apply professional communication elements, principles and processes specific to contemporary fashion design.
- Apply developed theoretical, industry and cultural fashion perspectives with a focus on ethical practices.
Content
This unit addresses developmental content such as:
- Conceptualising, proposing and realising fashion design ideas for industry / professional fashion contexts
- Tech packs and advanced technical drawings
- Digital fashion communication using relevant programs
- Fabric sourcing and utilisation for outerwear, including ethical sourcing
- Pattern manipulation and complex garment construction
- Sourcing, evaluating and synthesising historical and contemporary trend and contextual research
- Applying purpose-specific methods, machinery and equipment
- Developing theoretical, industry and cultural perspectives with a focus on ethics
Learning Approaches
In this applied unit you will be encouraged to combine theory and practice in an integrated / blended studio based learning environment. In face-to-face and blended/online experiences, you will cover the theory of fashion design. Studio classes will provide you with practical experiences to appreciate the critical connection between design and fabrication. There will be opportunities for class discussion and informal peer critique. Alongside this, your supervisors will support you to develop and refine your skills in an open, constructive and creatively supportive environment. You will be encouraged to develop your capabilities for critical and constructive dialogue, problem solving, research, exploration and questioning of traditional modes of fabrication. A range of online resources will support your learning experience.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback in this unit is provided to you in the following ways:
- formative exercises discussed in class and/or online
- comments on summative assessment work in addition to criteria sheets
- criteria sheet grading
- feedback from peers and teachers
- reflective practice
Assessment
Overview
In this unit there are three assessment pieces, the first due early semester, the second in mid-semester and the third due at the end of semester. In each assessment task, you will respond to a design brief with an individual portfolio of conceptual and practical work.
Faculty Assessment Information
To access complete Assessment Information please refer to the Canvas site for this unit. This includes information about assignment submission, late assignments and assignment extensions.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Design Concept Development
Assessment: Design Legacy
Assessment: Design Relaunch
In response to a socially contextualised brief and building on fashion design ideas explored in Assessment 1 and 2, you will realise and present a body of creative work. This work (including design illustrations, finished garments and supporting technical material) will articulate a theoretically and socially informed ethical position.
This assignment is not eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
