Topic 4: Fashion Design (6 Weeks)
Section outline
-
-
Students do concept drawings and create clothing outfits or costumes from a particular fashion period when studying fashion history using newspaper and tape only.
-
After studying the history of fashion, students will take one of their favorite fairy tale characters and design a new outfit for them based on a time period of choice. (For example: What would the Little Mermaid look like in a 80's outfit? How about Little Red Riding Hood in a flapper dress?) Students have a lot of fun applying what they have learned about the history of fashion.
-
Neckties are used for a variety of reasons - from conservative business (an attorney, doctor) to formal events (weddings, court appearances) to active people (working with kids, the design field). This variety gives the designer many options.
This lesson is the third of four lessons where students will create a "line of neckties" for a "high end" department store such as Nordstrom's or Bloomingdale's. In this lesson, students will apply knowledge from previous lessons to design four neckties using the elements and principles of design and pricing concepts The project will culminate in Lesson 4 with a marketing brochure to share their line.
