Fashion and Textile Design

Description

The primary emphasis of this subject is to introduce students to the fundamentals of upcycling and working with cut/sew knit/jersey fabrications for fashion. Students produce jersey technical samples and a fashion look that has an emphasis on sustainability, through extended use of garments.

The subject is supported by a series of relevant lectures as a means for students to advance their knowledge of sustainability and the fashion industry.

With a focus on relevant and future fashion industry practices, the subject combines design and technical components and teaches students through making how to develop sustainable and contemporary design approaches, including patternmaking, constructing garment toiles, reflectivity and critique.

Students are challenged to develop original garment designs to translate into realised outcomes, including lookbooks and media appropriate to fashion.
