Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, cost and present concepts for a garment range of at least ten pieces. The range is based on a central idea such as the performance outcome of the garments, occasion, theme or storyline.

This unit applies to designers.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Performance Criteria 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare to develop a fashion range

1.1 Interpret design brief and establish parameters of the project

1.2 Clarify roles of the design team and research fashion trends and relevant information, including availability of materials

1.3 Analyse styles, colours, stories or themes of fashion ranges, and fabric selection availability and performance characteristics

1.4 Identify supply chains for range development

1.5 Obtain profile of target market and analyse relevant current styles and fashion trends

2. Develop initial concepts

2.1 Identify potential concepts based on research and analysis

2.2 Use testing and experimentation to develop concepts and their themes, fabrics and colours

2.3 Identify potential range styles, trims and accessories based on target market

2.4 Select appropriate concepts for development in consultation with other members of the team

3. Develop range

3.1 Research and confirm production feasibility based on the needs of the selected concepts

3.2 Refine range concepts for commercial and production feasibility using testing and experimentation

3.3 Prepare visual information, samples and other documentation in appropriate format to communicate range features

4. Cost range

4.1 Check and confirm all items and resources to be costed for range

4.2 Calculate accumulated time required for range to ascertain labour cost

4.3 Obtain material costs from relevant sources and compare and then calculate total range design costs

4.4 Negotiate amendments or modifications to range to ensure design is within budget

5. Present range

5.1 Use prepared materials and presentation techniques to create an effective presentation that is tailored to the target audience

5.2 Outline features and benefits of designs in a positive manner that encourages approval

5.3 Include all development brief and workplace requirements in the presentation

5.4 Produce and share records of sample and range development

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

  • Reading skills to source and interpret diverse conceptual and technical information about garment design and production
  • Writing skills to structure and prepare cohesive reports about range development
  • Oral communication skills to collaborate with others in a creative process
  • Numeracy skills to make accurate calculations and evidence-based estimates about range costs

Other foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit.
