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.

  • They are given 3 options to demonstrate their color season. They can sketch, take a flat lay photo (this is a picture from above of an outfit with shoes and accessories), or to make a mood board.
  • They also have to write a summary about what they learned about 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.

Fashion Designer FACT Sheet

By Mandy LaCour

This is a great activity for students to do at the beginning of your Fashion Designer Unit. I like to use it as the first step in my Fashion Designer Research Project.

About this Activity

  • Student will research various types of information about a particular Fashion Designer.
  • The instructions allow them to chose a Fashion Designer of their choice but it needs to be approved by you so that they get a little bit of freedom but your can make sure that who they chose is an appropriate Fashion Designer for research.
  • This is also the information I have them research to create a google slides presentation on their Fashion Designer.

Suggested Timeline:

I give my students one class period to get this activity completed.

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.
