Name Teacher Option

Context: Teenage Fashion

The Issue: Teenagers are always on the lookout for something original to wear that reflects their lifestyle and interests

Brief: Design a garment that reflects your lifestyle and interests as a teenager

Your Task

Identify a need or opportunity for a garment that you could design and make in class. Your garment must include at least three processes. Use a commercial pattern that is closest to your design.

Task 1: Planning

before you start, fill in the gantt chart by planning the time you are allowing for each stage of your work. Include resources and stakeholders you will need to see at each stage

as you complete each stage, fill in the actual time you spent on it, and write a reflection of how that stage went

investigate a New Zealand fashion designer

Task 2: Research

brainstorm your interests and list possible garments for each interest indicate your choice of garment, and say why you have chosen it identify a need or opportunity for your garment describe the attributes specific to the garment complete the product analysis worksheet collect pictures showing suitable garments that you could make. Comment on them collect samples of suitable fabric (including the name and fibre content of the fabric,

if possible) and say why they would be suitable for your garment complete the Fashion History research assignment

Task 3: Concepts

using the information gathered, draw at least six concept sketches for your garment, commenting on the suitability of each one

get one or two stakeholders to comment on your concepts, saying which would suit you best, and why

Task 4: Development1

choose the concept you like best and develop it further with at least four sketches, using colour

get one or two stakeholders to comment on your designs do working drawings of your final design, showing front and back views. Indicate

design details. draw a final design sketch in colour with accessories and a suitable background modify your initial attributes, now calling them specifications, and add new

specifications

Task 5: Brief and Specifications

select one of the needs and opportunities you identified in Task 2 and write a brief modify your initial attributes, now calling them specifications, and add new

specifications

Task 6: Making

using safe working practices, construct your garment, making sure the specifications of the brief are met

complete the ‘processes in making my design’ sheets

Task 7: Evaluation

evaluate your completed garment against the specifications of the brief, explaining if it was ‘fit for the purpose’ for which it was intended

PRODUCT ANALYSISThink about it!

1. Select a garment that you have in your wardrobe that you are wearing this winter

a. Draw a picture of the garment you have chosen to analyse on the next page.b. Look carefully at the garment – include lines to show the seams and any

topstitching.c. Add labels to your drawing to identify the different style features.

2. Answer the following questions about your garment:

a. Who is the garment worn by?

b. Who paid for the garment?

c. How much did it cost?

d. Where was it bought?

e. Why was it bought? What factors influenced the purchase?

f. When is it worn?

g. Why is it worn?

h. How often is it worn?

i. What could you do with the garment when it is no longer wanted?

3. Look at the label to find answers to these questions:

a. Where was it manufactured?

b. What fibre/fabric is it made from?

c. Can it be washed? If so, what wash cycle should be used?

d. Can it be ironed? If so, what temperature should the iron be set to?

e. What other information have you found out from analysing the garment?

FABRIC RESEARCH

Why are these fabrics suitable for making my garment?

13

While you are sewing, you are to complete this research assignment. It can be done in class while you are waiting for a pattern and fabric, and for homework

FASHION HISTORY RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT

Research the development through history of a type of garment or popular brand, eg Levi Jeans, Nike Sportswear, swimwear, wedding dresses etc.
