Professors Teresa Echevarría and Ana Gómez put their Interior Design students to the test and launched this challenge: "To design a temporary pavilion or stand".
It should:
* Host the exhibition of a product and its brand.
* Be open or prolonged to a catwalk.
* Cover the aspects of Creativity and Sustainable Fashion.
* Be based on a real designer's brand.
Guidelines were: green-fashion brand, sustainability, low-cost production, universal design, stimulation of all senses.
And the goal? to create a singular element with a spatial and expressive richness, that, for its design (shape, material and colour) could be a point of attention to the brand and to the theme of eco-fashion.
That's all? No. There were also conditionning factors such as:
- With recycled materials, removable or foldable, stockable in a minimum space, cheap to produce and zero environmental impact.
- for exhibiting fashion and accessories.
- able to be turned into a catwalk.
- for exterior and interior spaces.
- maximum stand area of 25m2, plus a maximum of another 25 m2 for the catwalk.
The results? Just amazing. Seven students met the challenge with flying colours. Please, have a look clicking on the images.

Given its importance, Professor Teresa Echevarria decided to turn this matter into a "Educational Innovative Project" and proposed to create a working group (12 teachers and 180 students) to adress this subject . The "Valladolid Teachers Resource Centre" supported this idea and collaborated in the organisation of talks and conferences as well as in the dissemination of this "Art School Teacher's Guide: What Can I do for you".(Available in English by request).
Desde el principio del Proyecto Leonardo nuestra escuela tuvo en cuenta uno de los principales objetivos que cumplir: Reconocer, desarrollar y crear un porfolio con las habilidades requeridas por los profesionales internacionales que ayude a eliminar las barreras a la mobilidad. Los estudiantes deben ser conscientes de la gran cantidad de oportunidades que tienen para estudiar, trabajar y encontrar colaboradores fuera de sus fronteras y de su entorno y ataduras familiares.
Valladolid Fashion School TEMAT invited us to attend their last fashion show. Our school wants to support local designers and looks forward to closing collaboration with them.
Fashion is everywhere, and Miguel Olmedo, 2nd year Illustration student, is aware of this. He has designed fashionable outfits for video game characters on the basis of traditional soldier uniforms. There's a matching set of shoes, accessories, weapons and colour schemes to most people's favourite video game characters. His inspiration comes from history, mithology, movies. In addition, Miguel has done this research in the field of video games.We strongly recommend to read his project and wacht his video clip.
