Class Fashion Production I

The Curricular Unit of Fashion Production I addresses issues associated with different forms of presentation of fashion products (clothing, accessories, etc.) in the market.

Thus, on the one hand, the fashion communication media - physical or digital magazines (editorials, brand campaigns) - will be studied.

Another form of Fashion Production is the production of Fashion events (fashion shows, performances, exhibitions, happenings, etc.).

In this curricular unit students develop real work for real clients, thus allowing a greater proximity between academia and the labour market and providing students with real experiences of the reality of the environment that will receive them.

1. Concept of Fashion Production: what it is and what it does;

2. Setting up teams for Production - tasks of each player;

3. Trends Research - definition of concept

4. Styling: concept of styling: areas of intervention of the Styling;

5. The Stylist and Fashion Producer;

6. Definition of places and environments: Reperage and Location;

7. Definition of Model to photograph: Casting

8. Choice and definition of the mall

9. The Photographer: Some Fashion photographers - examples of work done;

10. How to build an image for Brand Campaign or Collection

11. The photo shoot and post-production.

Various important aspects of Fashion Production will be focussed on through visual and exemplary presentations. The work proposed for assessment will be carried out in the classroom and monitored by the teacher, but should include some time for autonomous work.

The type of work is essentially practical, involving research, planning, organisation and execution.

Student-centred teaching and learning by doing are encouraged, with the teacher facilitating learning.
