The Global Garment -5th edition
Deadline : June 30, 2005
Fashion and Accessories Design Scholarship Competition
The Global Garment competition, now at its fifth edition, takes form from the will to strengthen and reveal some of the characteristics that make Domus Academy one of the best known and most active post-graduate vocational centers worldwide: the international origins and multidisciplinary education of the students, the 'on the field' working method achieved through seminars organized in collaboration with leading companies and the support of advanced research tools. The strategic cooperation with Future Concept Lab - a research and trend analysis laboratory that has been operating in the area of predictive socio-economics for several years - is now an integral part of the approach to the research methods of Domus Academy.
This year edition is characterized by an important novelty: following the inauguration of the new Master in Accessories Design, this edition is awarding two partial scholarships, one for the Master in Fashion Design and one for the Master in Accessories Design. Global Garment is more than just a competition: it is a research laboratory, aimed at opening new horizons particularly for those cultural environments that, due to geographical reasons, are not at the centre of the international Fashion System, but whose traditions and cultures are of great interest and appeal. The objective is to use and re-elaborate a theme that becomes the core of the project according to personal schemes, inspired by and referring to one's own culture.
To access the two courses it is important to have previously developed the technical and basic skills needed - in example: Fashion, elements of pattern making and representation, knowledge of the materials (fabrics, yarns), capability to make a prototype - Accessories: elements of pattern making and representation, the knowledge of the materials (leathers, metals) and of the realisation processes. Projects will have to be sent along with curriculum vitae where to specify telephone number and e-mail address; letter of motivation for the participation to the Master in Fashion Design or in Accessories Design
at Domus Academy.
Projects will have to be delivered to Domus Academy "Fashion Design and Accessories Design Scholarship Competition - The Global Garment 2005", Via Watt 27 - 20143 Milan, by June 30, 2005 (the actual receipt date - not the postmark - will apply). The winner will receive written notice by July 15. The deadline to accept the award is September 6, 2005. In case the winner renounces, the scholarship will be awarded to the candidate ranking second.

Prizes:
The prize is a scholarship for each category equal to 10.000 euro of the overall cost of the Domus Academy Master in Fashion Design (Euro 15.000 + VAT 20%) and of the Domus Academy Master in Accessories Design (Euro 15.000 + VAT 20%). The prizes will be valid only for the Academic year 2006 (January - December).
Jury:
Brunella Caccaviello, Director of the project activity Master in Fashion Design Domus Academy; Francesco Morace, President Future Concept Lab; Barbara Trebitsch, Director Master in Fashion Design Domus Academy. (Judges may change without notice).
Participation:
Master in Fashion Design
Students attending the last year of Fashion Design schools, as well as graduated students and those who have developed professional skills in the sector are entitled to participate in the competition.
Modalities:
Candidates must present an original and unpublished project of one garment meeting the following requirements:
--universal characteristics, proposing wearable
--garments (for man or woman) intended for the
--international market - Spring/Summer 2006;
--strong research elements of innovation of shapes,
--cuts, materials and details;
--a strong creative personality.
This edition also intends to continue with the methodology and design approach through the simultaneous use of three different parameters and sources of inspiration. The participants are asked to express, through the research and the project, a pathway using the following elements:
A - a profoundly personal source of inspiration (an object, a memory...)
B - an "artistic" source of inspiration (in the general sense: literature, cinema, figurative arts, and music...)
C - a source of inspiration referring to a precise time period or a geographical area.
The project should be developed from the interaction of these elements and the research will highlight the steps that characterised the methodological approach.
The material should be structured as follows:
--A4 tables with sketches of the garment or of the accessory and its outfit;
--5/10 sketches coordinated with the main piece to complete the mini-collection (in order to outline the capability of creating the coordinated image of a collection developed around the main piece);
--technical drawings;
--samples of materials (fabrics, yarns, leather, etc.);
--synthetic visual research, including a written text that explains the project (in Italian or English).
The realisation of a prototype is not required, though projects sent with a prototype could receive preferential treatment.
