Through collaboration with creative practitioners you will facilitate an industry interface for your practice, enabling you to publicly present your work to the fashion community. Activities will relate to the dissemination of individual and collective fashion practices and will include preparation for dissemination of your major project through catwalk, exhibition, publication, film or other presentation form.
