Abstract or Description:

The role of the fashion designer is broadening and shifting and in our academic as well as our roles as creative practitioners we feel a responsibility to develop new tools and resources for coming generations. A critical reflection on the fashion system- informed by a wide spectrum of roles and reaching from student to industry- is emerging in isolated pockets and on the fringes. We now need to nurture and connect these through the educational structures and institutions in which we work. From our conversations and critique themes, challenges and mostly questions are emerging. We have identified that we miss fashion owned language to describe the new paradigm as well as updates in fashion methodology. As educators we experience the disconnect between students expectations of their education and curriculum, the fashion industry and their future roles within it.We want to share our thoughts in progress through an evolving and participatory manifesto - not as finished document but rather as live provocation towards re-imagining the very structures and material of fashion education - in this case assessment criteria/learning outcomes for fashion education.
