Overview
This 24 credit point unit is the capstone Fashion Design Studio experience and aims to provide you with the opportunity to synthesise your prior learning, within university and the workplace, through the production of a final year project that will be outward looking. Within this unit you will develop your confidence and ability to work with minimal supervision in preparation for graduation exploring your individual style and target audience. During this unit you will complete your final year project and will have the opportunity to apply to present your work in a graduate show or other external event.
This unit may form part of the Honours component for continuing DE42 Bachelor of Design (Honours) students.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Establish an individual design identity contextualised within a researched market niche.
- Apply professional standards of presentation, decision making, planning and organisation of work strategy within the development and completion of an extended design project.
- Use advanced design skills and creativity in the development and presentation of an individualised design portfolio.
- Apply advanced theoretical, industry and cultural fashion perspectives, including ethical and sustainable practices, connecting to an extended design project.
Content
This unit continues work on the design and development of a project culminating in a graduate show or outward looking external event/project.
Learning Approaches
This unit has supervised and unsupervised studio practice, critiques and presentations to monitor and provide feedback on your progress towards self-initiated, negotiated goals. Studio classes will provide you with bespoke practical experiences to crystallise an independent year long 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
Feedback in this unit is provided to you in the following ways:
- formative exercises discussed in class
- comments on summative assessment work in addition to criteria sheets
- criteria sheet grading
- feedback from peers.
Assessment
Overview
In this unit there are two assessment pieces, the first one in early to mid semester and the second at the end of semester. In each assessment task, you will individually respond to a design brief with a portfolio of individual work.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Project Dev Presentation 1
You will continue to work on the final year extended project initiated in Fashion Design Studio 5 and present more refined outcomes. This assessment aims to deepen your research, creative, and technical skills, as well as showcase your ability to develop and execute a cohesive and sophisticated fashion design project.
Assessment: Independent Project
This assessment task requires you to showcase advanced outcomes and a refined version of your final year extended project. You will be expected to demonstrate your skills in research, concept development, design, and presentation. The aim is to produce a well-developed and coherent project that showcases your creativity and critical thinking abilities.
Assessment: Capstone Independent Project
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
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.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
