The Salvation army fashion show

The Brief:

Using the requirements set by your client (the fashion show events team) you will research, develop and make an outfit from used garments, donated by the Salvation Army. These will feature in a fashion show at ‘As you like it’ on the 4^th May where you will be responsible for dressing and styling your outfits for the runway.

 As a class you will be split into 4 groups and be responsible for a separate trend/collection, these are: Colour Block, Seventies, Garden Party and Tribal/Safari.

 Your will research current trends using a variety of sources. Each group will have allocated trends to incorporate into their collection, using these as a source of inspiration for colour, shape/silhouette, technique and detail. You will be working in pairs to create one outfit, taking care to consider your team members designs to create an innovative and cohesive collection.

 You will have to be creative when developing your designs, referring back to your technical file to incorporate print and fabric manipulation techniques & processes. This will give your used garments a new function, breathing life back into these unwanted clothes!
