Learning outcomes General objective of the Unit Course: The work carried out aims to develop a fashion collection project, in groups of up to 4 students, with exploration of cultural repertoire and artistic immersion in the creation process, which aims to: reinforce creative aspects in product development; solidify the knowledge acquired in the undergraduate program regarding the stages of this process in the fashion industry; integrate reflections on the fashion system and critically act in design choices correlated with sustainability and professional ethics.

Specific objectives: Develop, as a group, a business opportunity for an existing and consolidated brand in the fashion market, executing all the design phases of fashion, from research to the fashion editorial photoshoot. The result tends to be a capsule collection.
Syllabus This course incorporates knowledge acquired throughout the bachelor's degree, in an integrated approach applied to fashion project development. It applies theoretical knowledge of history, design, marketing, consumer sociology, perception psychology, and semiotics in practical applications for analytical and critical construction of fashion collection development with distinct projects justified by a business opportunity.
It delves deeper into design project methodologies and fashion design, as well as tools for appropriate and professional representation and communication of a design product (illustration, technical drawing, photography, visual programming/information design, etc.). Whenever opportune, contact with professionals in the field will be promoted when useful for project development and the relationship between the academic world and the professional reality.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria In this course, the professor introduces the program contents as the project methodology requires and allows. Thus, the pedagogical methodology is active and cooperative, encouraging reflection and focusing on student application of concepts, problem-solving, and research. Students develop a business proposal for an existing and consolidated brand in the market as a group, and subsequently, individually develop a fashion collection project that responds to both the business proposal and the defined target audience.
This course is conducted and evaluated in a continuous process with presentations and guided supervision until the final submission and presentation ("work in progress"). Each teacher evaluates the students for each completed stage, and there will be moments of formal presentation of part of the work to the class. The final grade will be determined by a joint evaluation among all teachers, based on the execution of the most relevant stages.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
