Assessment Task One: Origin of a Trend

 

This assessment requires you to demonstrate your understanding of the content covered within the first four weeks of the trend cluster. You will be provided with a specific fashion trend by your trainer and expected to answer a series of questions about the trend. This will be demonstrated by using fashion theories to analyse and understand the adoption and dissemination of new fashion trends. More specifically, this is about researching a trend, anaylising its main characteristics, describing the influences that shape it and understanding the role of the media in popularizing and spreading the trend. Please see the full assessment brief in Canvas along with assessment format examples.

Assessment Task Two: Trend to Concept

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

 

Assessment Task Three: Trend and Concept Realisation

 

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).  There are 3 parts to this assessment which have been outlined in the assessment brief in Canvas along with assessment format examples.
