Contents Task 01 Task 02 Task 03 Task 01 The first day of s emester 3 for the module Introduction to Pattern Technology began with our class held in the computer room. During this session, we were briefed on the module information booklet , the assignment briefs , and the overall expectations for the semester. This module introduced us to a more technical side of fashion, focusing on digital pattern making rather than manual methods.

During this class, we were briefed on the module information booklet and the assignment brief, which gave us a clear overview of what to expect throughout the semester. The project immediately felt exciting yet challenging, as it involved a real-world-inspired collaboration between Taylor’s University and Converse . For Task 01 , we were required to create two fashion looks inspired by American style , based on any American era of our choice. The looks had to reflect Converse’s identity while also showing our personal design perspective.

Initially, I considered a basketball jersey–inspired theme , as it is strongly associated with American sports culture and Converse. However, after experimenting with ideas, I realised that I was unable to develop strong or...
