Name of Unit: Futures and Innovation

(FU010055)

Unit Introduction

The aim of this unit is to investigate current issues that are shaping the fashion industry in general and fashion visual merchandising and branding area in particular. It will also explore various trend indicators that are likely to point to important influencing factors in the future. The content of the unit will evolve as the industry and its sphere of influence changes but will focus on trends in design, materials and the retailing landscape. Scenario planning and futures forecasting will be explored as you begin contemplation of your Final Major Project topic for Final Year.

On completion of this unit you will be able to demonstrate:

LO 1 - Evaluate which changes are most relevant to the future of fashion visual merchandising and branding (enquiry);

LO 2 - Identify current issues shaping and influencing the fashion industry (knowledge);

LO 3 - Interpret an appropriate application of a selected macro trend (process);

LO 4 - Succinctly communicate trend research and subsequent application through text and visuals (communication);

Assessment Criteria

Your work in this unit will be marked against the UAL assessment criteria, which are designed to give you clear feedback on your achievement. The full assessment criteria descriptions can be found on the UAL Assessmentwebpage.

What you have to produce for Assessment

• Element 1: Presentation given in a student-led forum

• Element 2: 1500-word report synopsis

The assessment for this unit is weighted. In element-based assessment, you must achieve at least an E grade in each element, and an aggregate grade of at least D- in the overall unit. Failure (F, or F-), or non-submission in any element defaults to Fail for the unit. Assessment will be against the   specified marking criteria.

Element 1 (mandatory, 60% of grade): Presentation

Element 1 will be assessed using the following assessment criteria: enquiry, knowledge, process, communication, realisation

The objective is to explore and identify a trend from your unique perspective, to critically evaluate  the evidence and use this to develop future trend scenarios that indicate commercial opportunities or challenges for the marketplace.

The visual material supporting this report forms an integral part of the assignment and should have equal importance in providing evidence of the ‘trend drivers’, emerging examples of the trend manifesting in the market and potential opportunities. Remember to Harvard reference your   visuals as well as data and secondary research sources.

All trend reports require clear metrics to show the scale and potential impact of the trend as well as the commercial opportunity. These metrics should come from reputable databases, ideally from source data such as the ONS, as well as qualitative and quantitative research from sources such as Verdict and Mintel or brand consulting firms.

Element 2 (mandatory, 40% of grade): Report

Element 2 will be assessed using the following assessment criteria: enquiry, knowledge, process, communication, realisation

• Design innovation, conceptual art, retail design and the built environment;

• Technology and sustainability.
