Fashion Design: Embellishing Textiles
Carmel College

This course provides students with an opportunity to explore textile decoration and techniques designers use for improving and altering fabrics used in creations. Students will undertake brief development, use design ideas to produce a conceptual design for a technological outcome, and develop a prototype that is enhanced by embellishment.
Brief Development
-
Students will justify the nature of an intended outcome (e.g. a fashion
garment or accessory featuring embellishment) in relation to the need or opportunity and
justify specifications in terms of key stakeholder feedback and wider community
considerations.
Planning for Practice
-
Students will critically analyse their own and others' past and current
planning practices in order to make informed selection and effective use of planning tools. -
Use these to support and justify ongoing planning that will see the development of an
outcome through to completion.
Outcome Development and Evaluation
-
Conceptual design
-
Students will critically analyse their own and others' outcomes to
inform the development of ideas for feasible conceptual design. -
Undertake ongoing
experimentation and functional modelling, taking account of stakeholder feedback and
the intended physical and social environment. -
Use the information gained to select,
justify, and develop a final conceptual design of a fashion garment or accessory that
features embellishment. -
Evaluate the conceptual design against the specifications to
determine the proposed outcome's potential fitness for purpose.

Prototype
-
Students will continue to undertake ongoing experimentation and functional
modelling, taking account of stakeholder feedback. -
They will use the information gained
to select, justify, and develop a prototype of a fashion garment or accessory (featuring
embellishment) to be tested in its intended physical and social and environments. -
Evaluate the prototype's fitness for purpose against the brief and justify the evaluation
using feedback from stakeholders.

Technological Products
-
Students will understand how materials are formed, manipulated,
and transformed in different ways, depending on their properties, and understand the role of
material evaluation in determining suitability for use in product development.
