PRECEDENT

RESEARCH

Prompt

We will explore how fashion can express identity — who we are, where we come from, what we value, and how we choose to present ourselves. To spark ideas, we will begin by researching innovative fashion precedents that use new technologies, unexpected forms, and experimental design strategies. This exploration is called precedent research.

A precedent is an existing project or idea that introduces new materials, techniques, technologies, or forms. Studying precedents helps you discover fresh possibilities for expressing identity through fashion.
