Here's a look at a recent project our BA (Hons) Art Direction for Fashion students completed!
Project Summary
For this project, students created a Trend Report based on research into a classic fashion item or icon. They explored its history, cultural significance and modern relevance before predicting its future comeback and creating a contemporary redesign.
The project included:
- Historical and trend research
- A digital redesign of the chosen item
- Original photography of the item
- A capsule collection campaign for online and in-store promotion
- A client-style trend report combining research, visuals, and campaign concepts
The aim was to develop skills in creative direction, styling, photography, fashion writing and marketing, while creating a cohesive fashion narrative based on current and future trends.
