Linkage between Fashion and Textile Design Student and Industry: Interactive Platform for Practical Design

This article discusses a project aimed at creating an Interactive Platform for Practical Design (IPPD) for fashion and textile degree students and industries, with a focus on increasing students’ ability of learning to learn and practical design. Students can continuously build their learning capacities and improve their practical design capabilities through theoretical coaching and practical project assignments based on the theory of learning to learn. The platform encourages university-enterprise collaboration by allowing for online and offline interactions between students and enterprises. In the study, two surveys were conducted to look into the platform’s effects. The findings show that the IPPD may play an important role in developing practical textile and fashion design skills for the industry.
