This course will run as 50% online and 50% in presence at HTW-Berlin.
Learning outcomes/expectations:
You will be required to produce a 100% Sustainable collection by being innovative, resourceful and market-relevant with attention to construction, fabrication and finish, producing fully desirable, beautifully made, imaginative items of clothing.
You would be expected to move forward by upcycling garments or fabrics you have in hand, if you need to purchase fabrics you would be required to only use eco-friendly fabrics. You will be able to also pursue digital prints but again only on eco-fabrics.
The aim of this module is to develop an innovative methodology considering a high level of finishing. If the desired finish of the garments is raw – it needs to be decisive and purposeful. Fit, and insides of garments need to be fully analyzed.
You will need to adhere to luxury market standards, receiving technical help from Evelyn Selier on the pattern cutting process.
Finally, you will also be asked to consider the communication and marketing angle of your collection, providing an Instagram link, developed in corporation with participants in your class.
You will be required to design 5 outfits and choose one piece or outfit (or more depending on your collection) to realise.
You will receive a full detailed brief with all requirements, workflow and dates before the beginning of the semester. |
