20th Century Fashion Mood Board Project
By Mandy LaCour
This is a great project to do once you have covered 20th century fashion. Student will create an informational mood board about a decade that you assign to them. The instructions list tasks and specific information that students must include about their particular decade. My students usually get their mood boards completed within 2-3 days, depending on their thoroughness.
Supplies needed:
poster board
glue stick/glue gun
fabric swatches
fashion magazines
various trinkets for students to use to "jazz up" their mood boards
Alternative Application: students could also make their mood board digitally on Canva or google slides.
Rubric is included!
By Mandy LaCour
This is a great project for your advanced fashion design students. They can make this mood board at the beginning of the school year so they can be posted around the classroom.

Fashion History Magazine Project
By Mandy LaCour
This is a Fashion History Magazine Project that is perfect for high school students in any class that covers fashion history. This is a great alternative option to the regular research paper assignment. This project gives students more creativity to create and design using a variety of magazine components. They are instructed to create a magazine article, sketch fashion garments, create a mood board as well as design a magazine advertisement for a product from their time period. This product also includes a rubric for students.
By Mandy LaCour
This is a great project for your advanced level fashion students.
Prior Knowledge: They need to have created a Mood/Inspiration Board.
They are instructed to use that mood board to create a garment for a "Barbie".
Supplies:
*I had my students use their Mood Board as the backdrop for their photo shoot.
By Mandy LaCour
This project is a great tool to help your advanced fashion students create their own fashion line. I use it so my students can plan out what garments they are planning on constructing throughout the school year. Once the students complete this activity, I meet with each of the students individually to go over and discuss their plans and ideas for their fashion line.
There is a list of construction requirements listed that my students must include in their various garments.
Fashion Design Final Project Choices
By Mandy LaCour
This project is great for your fashion design students in your entry level class. I usually give my students 10 class days to complete whatever choice they would like to work on from the list. Feel free to give your students whatever timeline fits your lesson plan. I like giving the students choices in case there are students who would like to sketch instead of sewing. No matter what project they choose they are still required to type a paper that discusses the elements and principles of design. Each project has a different set of elements and principles of design that are required for the paper since sometimes it is easier to include certain ones in sewing projects versus sketches.
Prior Knowledge needed:
This project assumes that your class has covered the elements and principles of design but if you have not then feel free to omit that part of the project.
This download includes a rubric as well.
By Mandy LaCour
This is a great sheet for fashion students to use when they are beginning to start constructing their garment.
MY Color Season Project - Advanced Fashion Design
By Mandy LaCour
This project is great for advanced fashion students and gives them a chance to design or create outfits that are complementary to their color season.
Prior Knowledge: It is helpful for students to know their color seasons prior to this assignment. This document however does include 2 QR code links that help students figure out their color season. It is just not very thorough.
All about ME Fashion T-Shirt Activity
By Mandy LaCour
This is a great activity for the 1st week of class when you are getting to know the students.
Use: These fashion All about ME activities are great way to get to know your students and for students to get to know each other. It also allows students to show their creativity and personality.
