Students are asked to draw parallels with the architectural blueprint of the Chinese pagoda in Kew Gardens by laying the blueprint on to the fabrics and to correlate with conventional clothing patterns to create a hybrid garment and to label it with your own creative name.

For the second part students are asked to creat a parados by transforming the previous hybrid into another garment by the addition of 3 layers altering the silhouette and significance of the meaning and ambience of the structure.

The research and conclusion should reflect upon the feeling of an architectural space, namely The Chinese Pagoda and the components within and without the space, relating to the environment, in this case Kew Gardens via Beijing.

The label becomes an integral part of the brief and the evolution of this is to sustain your creative business. You will inform us with your own very specialized business plan, which FAD will help you to construct.
