Overview of Learning Activities

Your learning will be facilitated via a range of in-class and online activities that will require both individual and collaborative engagement. Class activities promote your ability to explore, design, investigate, analyse and understand fashion practice and strategies for its public communication. 

You will work with industry practitioners and specialists to learn and unpack approaches for the design and production of the fashion show. You will refine your professional communication skills in preparing creative and organisational briefs to work with your peers, external collaborators and professional parties to develop a fashion show/ performance.

You will work individually and within a team to produce a suite of fashion show concepts. You will allocate roles in the team as well as cover all areas of professional practice such as development of briefs, mood boards, styling, casting and location sourcing. This will include research and references, timeline/plan, a summary statement, and any other relevant planning that you can put into action to realise your direction for your show. This will help you develop briefs for planning for a fashion show  in industry contexts.
