1005. Fashion Weeks Project

The "Big 4 Fashion Weeks" project is designed to follow the 4 major fall fashion weeks during September/October from New York to London to Milan to Paris. These 4 regional events are known as the “Big 4”. Each regions' fashion week consists of several fashion shows and events to observe. Students are to observe and gather information on 5 key fashion elements that are trending in the fashion shows. 

Because this assignment requires research over a few days and the fashion weeks are back-to-back, this is a perfect collaborative opportunity for students to work in groups of 2 – 4 based on class size.

RESOURCE INFORMATION

TIME
