Fashion Designer Research Project Fashion Designer Project Dr. Emily L. Newman For this project, you will have the opportunity to learn about one major, international fashion designer in depth. After extensive research (that includes library work, interlibrary loans, documentary viewing – on sites such as Kanopy), you will strive to become an expert in that designer’s work! Each student will give a presentation pecha kucha style, create a handout for the entire class, and complete a reflection worksheet on their experience. Students will chose from a list of designers (found in the following pages), and post their top choices on a discussion board. No more than five presentations can be scheduled for each day. Each presentation should include the following: - Brief biographical introduction to the designer (including life dates, where they worked, training, how they got started) - Key innovations by the designer (did they invent a style of dress or incorporate new materials?) - How do they work? (haute couture, ready-to-wear, etc.) - How can we recognize their work? (styles, conventions, colors, etc.) Key presentation styles: - Your presentation cannot include any text beyond label information (designer name, title of dress/collection, date, location, materials). - Make sure the small amount of text you use is at least 20pt font so the audience can read it. - Your background should be black with white text. After each presentation, the students can show a 4-8 minute clip of either a fashion show by the designer, an interview, or film clip that help clarifies the designer’s perspective and point-of-view. In addition to your presentation, you will also create a handout to be distributed to the class. Think of this as a sheet that provides a brief but thoughtful introduction to the designer, of which your presentation will enhance and elaborate upon. It should not be a written version of your presentation, rather it should supplement it. If you want to include spaces for note-taking, you can. Your handout must include: - Basic life information on the designer - Pictures and brief descriptions on key moments in fashion throughout the designer’s career - Bibliography - Any information necessary for your classmates - Think about the design of your handout: be creative (maybe it is an infographic) and think carefully about the entire design of the project. Grade Breakdown: Presentation 40%, Handout 30%, Research/Bibliography 20%, Reflection 10% RESEARCH: You are required to have at least FIVE academic sources. - Two of your sources MUST be books - While they might be consulted and included in your bibliography, fashion design websites do not count in your final source total. - Good sources: Books, articles from peer-reviewed journals (Academic articles found on JSTOR for example) - Unacceptable sources: book reviews, encyclopedias, course textbook (if you use this, you can include in your bibliography but it WILL NOT COUNT in your final total of sources), Oxford Art Online, dictionaries, WIKIPEDIA, websites/journals without appropriate sourcing or academic background. If you are unsure about the quality of a source - ASK. All sources must be documented fully in Chicago Manual of Style Formatting, 16th Edition (see the class guide online as well as http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html). BIBLIOGRAPHIES: Bibliographies represent the most basic use of citation that one can/should include in one's papers. Even if you have not utilized any direct quotes from a published text, if you have not used notes you must (for academic integrity and legal reasons) follow up your papers with a list of the sources used to prepare your work. The sources are organized alphabetically (by author or editor, or by title if there is no author cited) on an individual sheet at the end of the paper, with every line after the first of each new source indented at least 5 spaces from the left margin. Here are some examples of how bibliographic sources should be organized according to the bibliographic format: BOOKS: SINGLE AUTHOR AND ANTHOLOGIES Author/editor, last name first. Title italicized. Additional editors if any. Volume or edition if any. City of publication: Name of press, year of publication. Examples: Frueh, Joanna. Erotic Faculties. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1996. Gibson, Pamela Church and Roma Gibson, eds. Dirty Looks: Women, Pornography, Power. London: British Film Institute, 1993. PERIODICALS: Author's last name first. "Title in quotation marks." Name of journal italicized Volume, number (Date in parentheses): page number/s. Example: Eileraas, Karina. "Witches, Bitches and Fluids: Girl Bands Performing Ugliness as Resistance." The Drama Review: The Journal of Performance Studies 41, no.3 (Fall 1997): 122-139. GALLERY AND AUDIO/VISUAL MATERIALS: Artist/director if known last-name-first. Name of artwork italicized. Running length if a/v. Institution/production company, year made if known. Medium/source type. Example: Lang, Fritz. Metropolis. 124 minutes. Universal Film A.G (UFA), 1927. DVD. For more information on citation style, see: Turabian, Kate L., A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students by Researchers. 8th edition. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2013. The Chicago Manual of Style. 16th edition. Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 2010. Barnet, Sylvan.

Those programs make multiple mistakes, and you need to make sure that the information is translating correctly and is matching up exactly as needed. Additionally, we are using Chicago Style 16th Style (note-bibliography format). Sample Bibliography: See below. Note that there is one space between entries, and the works are alphabetized by author’s last name. 2nd+ lines of entries is always indented- author’s name is omitted if repeated. Please follow the formatting exactly.

PECHA KUCHA PRESENTATIONS Each student will give a brief presentation (under seven minutes to be exact) about their thesis document. This should include an overview of what was discussed, including the artists and literature researched and how it connects to your larger artistic project. To talk about the paper, each student will present their paper in the style of pecha kucha (20x20), which is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. TIPS: • Insert images as usual, resizing them to your liking. There should be very little text, only images or images their captions/title information. Best practice is to fill the screen unless using space for emphasis. • Avoid writing out a script for your talk. Write a simple outline for the big ideas of each slide. The best situation is when you know your topic so well that you don’t even need an outline. Use the outline for planning purposes, then impress everyone without it when you present in person. • Practice your presentation repeatedly until you get it just right. • Let your slides do some of the work. Don’t give all the backstory – just enough to establish context, and enough to be able to make your point. Remember that your slides can do a lot of your talking for you. As an example, let’s say you wanted to talk about your younger self, and your slide is a photo of you as a kid. Compare a line like “This is a photo of me when I was younger” to something like: “The third grade was the worst year of my life” or “I fell in love for the first time when I was eight” or “As a kid, I loved ice cream sandwiches more than my parents.” • No video or audio is appropriate for this type of presentation. • Choose your images wisely and specifically. This is what the audience will be focusing on, so make sure that your images convey EXACTLY what you want to convey. To set PowerPoint to advance automatically: Select all slides in the left, and then go to Animation, advance slide and set it to 20 seconds. To Set Keynote to advance automatically: Select all 20 slides. Click the Slide Inspector and click the Transition tab. Under Start Transition choose Automatically. Enter a Delay of 20.

  • Fashion-Making and Co-Creation in the Transglobal Landscape: Sino-Italian
    Modern Italy, 2019 Page 1 of 16, doi:10.1017/mit.2019.59 1 2 3 4 5 Fashion-making and co-creation in the transglobal landscape: 6 Sino-Italian fashion as method 7 8 9 Wessie Ling and Simona Segre Reinach 10 11 Department of Arts, Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK Department for Life Quality Studies, University of Bologna, Rimini, Italy 12 (Received 30 May 2019; final version accepted 30 September 2019) 13 14 15 Abstract The ‘making’ of fashion cannot merely refer to garment production and manufacturing. It is 16 the prerequisite for a nation to actively participate on the global stage. To establish a 17 ‘recognisable’ fashion image, a country must go far beyond the competition of a specialised 18 garment and textile industry. Being recognised as the ‘author countries’ for fashion creation 19 is part of a process in which the (re)negotiation of national hierarchies and roles are 20 constantly at play. For a country or a city, expressing an instantly recognis-able aesthetic has become an important corollary of the communication of political and economic 21 strength. More than in the past centuries, fashion has been tasked with not only reflecting 22 and representing social or individual needs, but also constructing ex novo ter-ritories in 23 which old stereotypes and imaginary are creatively set free. This is because, unlike most 24 production and commercial activities, fashion expresses an elaborate culture whose 25 composition of symbols, ideologies and lifestyles (Crane 2004) can be drawn on. On the other hand, the accelerated production relocation in past decades has irrevocably changed 26 the geography of fashion, as well as the rhetoric of the origin of national creativity.

  • Inside the SCAD FASH Guo Pei Exhibit By
    I Shall Wear a Gown: Inside the SCAD FASH Guo Pei Exhibit By Dominique S. Johnson Photo taken by Dominique Johnson Rihanna stunned the red carpet at the Met Gala in 2015 when she arrived in a striking yellow cloak. Everyone wanted to know one thing: who designed it? That night the designer, Guo Pei, received so much recognition numerous brands and designers wanted to work with her. Two years later, her rise to fame has led to her first US solo museum exhibit at SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta. The exhibit, “Guo Pei: Couture Beyond,” features more than forty gowns, accordant footwear, and accessories from various collections by Guo. “The exhibit took two years of communication for everything to come together,” Rafael Gomes, director of Savannah College of Art and Design fashion exhibitions, says. “It was difficult because Guo Pei cannot speak English, so we had to translate our correspondence as best as we could. A lot of things got lost in translation.” In spite of the complications, Rafael and Alexandra Sachs, texecutive director of SCAD FASH, assembled a breathtaking exhibit for Guo. Since opening night in September, the museum has received more than 3,000 visitors. “Our visitors come in expecting to see the famous Rihanna dress but realize the designer has so much more to offer,” Sachs says. “It’s the wonderment and awe that draw people in.” Walking into the exhibit, visitors travel through Chinese culture and traditions. Each dress has its own incredible story. For instance, “Magnificent Gold,” shown below, from Guo Pei’s Samsara collection, took more than 50,000 hours to create.
