Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After successfully completing this course a student has developed and realized a part of the collection designed during the Fashion Collection Design course.
They is able to manage the process of developing their designs into garments and is able to develop their design identity further through exploring the cut of garments. They has in-depth understanding of the interactions between material, shape and construction and expertise in creating silhouettes. They is fluent in experimenting with silhouette and cut and confident in finding working solutions that allow them to express their vision. They has embraced critical thinking in their design, detailing and construction of garments and engouraged to realize materials for their collection. They is able to integrate creative, research-oriented and technical viewpoint into garment construction. They is proactive in exploring innovative and sustainable technical solutions and recognize how to benefit from emerging technologies and craft.
Student is able to present their collection in a personal contemporary way and understand their positioning as a designer within industrial frameworks and future challenges in fashion field.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The course includes the development and realization of collections designed during the Fashion Collection Design course. During the course a student create prototypes and samples from a selection of designs made during the Fashion Collection Design -course.
The design development process is supported by design tutorials and critical dialogue. They research and experiment with shape, volume and garment construction in tutored fittings and independently. Students are familiarised with 3D-modelling systems and their application possibilities in the fashion industry and they study how to take advantage of them.
The course includes design studio and/or industry visits to offer an insight into current and future sample development processes.
At the end of the course a student prepare a conceptual presentation of their final collection and present it to external professionals. The most potential collections will be recommended for international competitions, shows and exhibitions.
