All pattern cutting paper and card Various fabrics for set projects including corsetry and tailoring supplies PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO This module covers all two-dimensional aspects relating to the illustration and promotion of the final collection. Projects within this module will support the three-dimensional outcome of a capsule collection of a minimum of six outfits. You will also be introduced to Fashion styling, photography and fashion film making. You will be given the opportunity to attend a workshop with a professional specialising in each of these areas in order to present your collection, or the concept behind it, via a photoshoot and short film. The module is also concerned with professional promotion skills; you are required to develop and present a professional portfolio, CV, business card and the opportunity to develop a blog/ website, which shows understanding of how best to promote and present their work, and skills, to potential clients within the Fashion industry. FASHION PROJECTS 3 This is the Capstone project, which is a large and final piece of work for the undergraduate degree, requiring extensive research, development and high production values and is supervised by one or more lecturers. The module will cover the main stages of designing for Fashion Design: research, design development and presentation. The module begins with warm up experimental design briefs that support a critical, individual and imaginative approach to Fashion Design, followed by the research and design development of their final major project The Final Collection. You will consider elements such as range planning, fabric development (knitted and woven), trimmings, accessories and styling. TECHNICAL SKILLS 3 This module involves advanced technical workshops, building on the skills developed in Technical Skills 1 and Technical Skills 2, and feeds into the development and realisation of the final collection. The final collection will be the production of final garments, including sourcing of fabrics and trims, through management of the collection and developing the ability to direct technical staff to achieve the initial collection proposal in 3D form. You will complete a collection of six outfits finished to a professional standard. Indicative content includes: experimental pattern cutting and draping; advanced digital pattern cutting. Working independently, but supported by specialist workshops and individual tutorials, you ll complete a toiled collection to be presented at the end of teaching block 1 and the final collection at the end of teaching block 2. DISSERTATION The module requires you to work independently; to exercise and deploy knowledge and skills acquired in earlier stages of the programme; to focus in depth on a specific and discrete topic in a given field; to develop and sustain a thesis, within a guiding theoretical framework. The preparation of a dissertation proposal, is to be approved by the Module Leader. The final year demands a self-directed approach with modules including a series of warm-up projects followed by the development and presentation of your final collection. You ll take ownership of your portfolio choosing how to digitally present it and, in some cases, a short promotional video is created.
