Course Description
In this course you will undertake a fashion design collection or project related to specific discipline specialisations.
This capstone experience requires you to define and demonstrate your own fashion design practice to a professional standard in a related discipline or industry context. It is designed to enable you to synthesise and integrate knowledge, connect theory and practice as well as demonstrate a holistic achievement of program learning outcomes.
The course provides an opportunity for you to prepare for and reflect on your transition from university into your future professional career or further study. You will apply and critically reflect upon the ideas, skills and graduate capabilities you have gained through your program. It will also help you to critically evaluate professional practices and organisational demands using scholarly ideas and your own professional insights. You are required to attend all panels face to face including feedback sessions, assessments and industry presentations.
Delivered alongside GRAP2822 Fashion Presentation Design you will engage in presentation of research and design outcomes and gain experience in presenting in an outward facing context.
