Course Description

Fashion is so much more than seasonal trends. It’s an expressive medium that flatters and enhances the human form, with infinite possibilities. Broaden your fashion portfolio with an innovative piece of wearable art. 

Start with the principles of fashion and processes like mood boards and sketches. Use visual research to generate inspiration and thought-provoking concepts. Learn basic construction techniques while pushing the limits of each material. Then, select and test unconventional materials and experiment with their unique properties. Combine them with traditional materials to add interest to your garment collection. You will integrate sustainable practices and address the needs of diverse body types.

  • Convey design concepts through sketches and prototypes. 
  • Select and evaluate materials based on sustainability and functionality.
