The purpose of this assessment is to guide your trend analysis skills to assist you as an up and coming stylist to identify emerging trends and apply these to your concept proposals. You will use four (4) different methods of predicting future fashion directions - formal and informal trend forecasting sources to achieve this. There are 3 parts to this assessment which have been outlined in the assessment brief in Canvas along with assessment format examples. Part A: Visual Diary/Research Part B: Visual and Oral Communication Part C: Class Participation

In this assessment, you will bring together your knowledge of identifying current trends and predicting future fashion influences to showcase your styling skills in a real-life brief/situation. You will collaborate with an industry partner to apply the skills and knowledge required to manage the process of taking a project from concept to final realisation in the form of an event (to be determined in class).
