Eclecticismo desorden renovador y oscurantismo renaciente

The purpose of the following graduation project was to reflect the knowledge and expertise acquired during the career of Technology in Fashion Design of the San Francisco de Quito University. Ultimately, it aimed at the correct implementation of technical skills in every stage of creative process towards reaching a professional fashion collection. This collection -ECLECTICISM: REFORMIST DISORDER AND RENASCENT OBSCURANTISM- was inspired in photographs of the fashion photographer Kevin Mackintosh, and was one of the 24 collections presented by students of the third year of studies at the Carpe Diem Fashion Show. This show took place at the Convention Center of the Mall Paseo San Francisco place on June 6th 2013. The final collection was the result of a technical and creative process that began with the selection of the inspiration and trend that would frame the collection, and concluded with the preparation and presentation of the outfits of the collection in the fashion show. Carpe Diem did not only reflect the work of an entire semester, but resulted in the utilization of all the skills obtained during three years of career, becoming the culminating stage of the entire effort of the fashion design students. At the same time, this fashion show also became the first step into the real world of fashion design, which include the experience of dealing with suppliers, models, critics, press, etc. Finally and most importantly, it turned out into an experience where the student could face the rationale of a designer: the people - customers and audience.
