This course is a collaboration with Special Olympics and the renowned fashion photographer Nigel Barker. The course will engage both Collection and Systems design approaches to reimagine how fashion, sport and design education can come together to generate new possibilities for inclusion and social justice. Students will be designing in deep collaboration with Special Olympics athletes to generate garments and collections for red-carpet events. Additionally, students will be collaborating with the Special Olympics team to design sport-specific, high performance garments for competition. Through this innovative co-design approach, the class will aim to develop incredible fashion design outcomes and powerful proposals for new types of inclusive fashion systems that can have profound and positive impacts on society. Design Studio 4 aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop individualized, iterative, research and systems-based fashion design processes. As the fourth course in a six-part core sequence, Design Studio 4 aims to increase students’ ability to work more independently by establishing self-initiated projects and methods of design exploration. Students will develop a deeper understanding of research methodologies, design philosophy, processes and innovative approaches to materiality. Design Studio 4 aims to help students increase the diversity and depth of their design processes, problem-solving methods. Emphasis is placed on the distillation and translation of rigorous research and processes into precise fashion design projects.
