Overview
This unit builds developmentally on previous fashion studio knowledge and together with DFB311 forms the capstone of the Bachelor of Design Fashion program. It provides advanced knowledge and skills for the theory and practice of fashion design contextualised within critical and ethical parameters. The unit focuses on the development of advanced skills to research, communicate and realise design in an integrated studio environment. Within this unit you will develop your confidence and ability to work with minimal supervision in preparation for graduation, exploring your individual design aesthetic. The suite of Fashion Design Studio units form the foundation of learning for the Bachelor of Design (Fashion) program.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Research and synthesise advanced concepts and develop innovative approaches to build an individual fashion design identity.
- Demonstrate creative, experimental and analytical ways to explore and resolve complex fashion design problems.
- Apply advanced communication elements, principles and processes to a professional fashion design context.
- Explore advanced theoretical, industry and cultural perspectives on fashion including ethical and sustainable practices.
Content
This unit builds upon the understandings acquired in previous Fashion Design Studio units and provides content such as:
- exploration of individual design identity
- critical research and reflection on, and application of, ethical and sustainable practices
- realisation of design ideas for fashion in niche/unique contexts
- portfolio development
- digital fashion communication
- pattern engineering • more advanced techniques or niche domains
- garment construction • more advanced techniques or niche domains
- application of nominated purpose-specific methods, machines and/or equipment.
Learning Approaches
In this applied unit you will be encouraged to combine theory and practice in an integrated / blended studio based learning environment, with particular reference to independent learning approaches. In face-to-face and blended studio experiences, you will further extend and challenge theory of fashion design. Studio classes will provide you with bespoke practical experiences to undertake an independent body of design work. There will be opportunities for class discussion, informal peer critique and industry connection. 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 independent critical and constructive dialogue, problem solving, research, exploration and consolidation of your own individual design identity. A range of online supporting resources will be used for fashion fabrication and fashion design theory.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
