The 1-year Fashion Design program is designed to expose students to the creative side of the fashion industry. Students will glean an understanding of and proficiency in both the design and technical practice of fashion allowing them to become competent creative professionals.
The program comprises an overview to the major components of fashion design. It introduces students to two Design Studio classes where students' capacity for creative and critical thinking will be enabled. Through these classes, students will learn how to draw inspiration and create highly innovative and dynamic design concepts. These studio classes will be supported by technology classes in illustration, pattern making, and sewing. Students' exposure to illustration will enable them to render designs using varied media while skills gleaned from courses on basic to advanced pattern making, sewing, and draping will equip students to create actual garments.
