Design an ensemble (an entire outfit including accessories and all items of clothing) for a hypothetical character who lives in a post-apocalyptic future. The ensemble needs to include at least two innovative textile technologies. Research at least two textile technologies and show how they can be applied in the design of your ensemble (applications can be functional or aesthetic – or both). • Select two of the five topic areas, undertake initial research into one specific textiles technology innovation in each of those topic areas. Locate an exciting example of innovative textiles technology that could be used in the design of your ensemble. o Innovation in Fibre and Yarns o Innovation in Fabrics, Finishes and Colouration o Smart and Technical Textiles o Australian and global supply chain innovations o Ethics & Sustainability • Write/draw (create) a one A4 page character profile of a hypothetical character who lives in a post-apocalyptic world approx. 50 years in the future. Consider: o Was it a disaster? – what caused this post-apocalyptic situation to occur? Is this future a utopian or dystopian? Briefly describe and create a moodboard to show the design context. What is the situation in which the character lives? o Age and gender o Socio-economic status o Occupation o Personal challenges and history o Personal life goals • Write a design a one A4 page brief based on the character profile, name your character and describe what their needs are. Name your character. • Design an ensemble for this character to wear which includes at least two examples of innovative textile technology (these might be available now, but you speculate that they could do more, or they might be examples that are based on research and not currently available, or the application may be entirely speculative – you may imagine how a technology could be used or applied in the future). Present an annotated image – design the ensemble, draw it using fashion illustration techniques, then using arrows – point to the innovative textile technologies or other key design features in the ensemble which make it unique. 1- 2 A4 pages, or 1 A3 page
