Global Fashion Design Challenge

Mandy Penton and Sarah Charles
October 2015
Abstract/Snapshot: 

In October 2013, fashion program students at RMIT University, the University of Salford and Columbia College participated in a live collaboration project, the Global Fashion Design Challenge. This was the third challenge in an ongoing annual collaboration that originally commenced in 2011. The concept is to allow students and staff to engage in an international experience that is virtual and occurs in real time. The 2013 challenge was five hours in duration with three checkpoints through the process for students to reflect on the process, to assess where to for the next stage and to share their work. The length of the design project depends greatly on the design brief and its requirements. In past years, the project’s duration has been either twelve, six or five hours.
