PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The Fashion Design (1-Year Program) provides foundational training in both the creative and technical practice of fashion design. It is suited for aspiring fashion designers, career changers, creatives, and hobbyists who want to develop practical skills in design and garment development.
Through two Design Studio courses, students learn to research inspiration, develop design concepts, and apply creative and critical thinking to their work. Supporting courses in fashion illustration, pattern making, sewing, and draping help students translate concepts into finished garments while building proficiency in different design and technical processes.
