Blizzard Bag Assignment: Fashion Designer Inspiration Board

Alexander McQueen, Spring 2013 collection

The blizzard bag assignments are meant to replace the work of TWO snow days. You must complete the assignment below by JUNE 1st and turn into the Google Drive hand in folder titled "Blizzard Bags Assignment". The assignment should take you about 90 minutes to complete from start to finish. If you do not complete the assignment, you will be marked two days absent. If you have any questions during the assignment, please see me in class or email me. Seniors are exempt from the blizzard bag assignment because they are not restricted to the 180 day school year from the DESE.

Project Description:
Research a famous fashion designer (your sewing machine's name) and create a moodboard of the designer's style using the moodboard app. Then, download Polyvore on your iPad. Create a collage of 3 different outfits based upon the designer's personal design style for people who cannot afford a runway look. You are essentially creating designs on a budget -- many fashion magazines do something similar to this. Print out both sheets in color and submit into the Google Drive folder titled: Blizzard Bag Assignment.
