What is a Creative Brief?
A fashion creative brief is a document that outlines your “big idea,” project goals, and vision for a fashion design project. It serves as a roadmap that will allow the judges to see your full concept, vision, and that you have a plan in place to bring your vision to life. You will NOT create the design in this phase, you will only submit your ideas for the project in this creative brief form.
How do you submit the Creative Brief?
We’re glad you asked! We’ve made it an easy fillable form on the right side of this page. There are __ distinct sections that each require thoughtful responses. The last section requires a visual digital mood board to be uploaded as a .jpg, .png or .pdf.
What do I create a mood board?
