Overview
This unit is the fifth in a series of six Fashion Design Studio units in the Bachelor of Design Fashion program and provides advanced knowledge and skills for the theory and practice of fashion design exploring your individual design identity contextualised within critical and ethical parameters. It focuses on researching and documenting your individual design identity, including the development of advanced skills to research, communicate and realise design ideas in an integrated studio environment. The unit builds upon the understandings acquired in the unit DFB211 Fashion Design Studio 4 and also provides a launch platform to explore in depth your individual design identity culminating in DFB311 Fashion Design Studio 6. The suite of Fashion Design Studio units form the spine of learning for fashion design understandings in the Bachelor of Design Fashion program and include practical skills and knowledge of garment construction and pattern cutting.
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 complex design problems displaying self reliance.
- Apply advanced communication elements, principles and processes specific to contemporary fashion design.
- Explore advanced theoretical, industry and cultural fashion perspectives including ethical and sustainable practices.
Content
This unit builds upon the understandings acquired in DFB211 Fashion Design Studio 4 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
- preliminary 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/online experiences, you will further extend and challenge theory of fashion design. Studio classes will provide you with bespoke practical experiences to undertake 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 semester and the second at the end of semester. In each assessment task, you will individually develop a response to build an individual fashion design identity.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Design - Individual Identity
Assessment: Professional Creative Work
This assessment task requires you to take your design concept from the previous assessment and bring it to life by implementing specific aspects from the graduate professional creative body of work. You will need to demonstrate technical skills and craftsmanship to produce a finished product that meets the desired criteria.
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.
