This course focuses on the skills and talents required to achieve creative fashion from concept to production.  We will cover every facet of fashion design for people interested in working in the industry or starting their own design company.  You will become thoroughly versed in the four seasons of fashion, collaborating with buyers, forecasters, etc., and the complete design process from sketching ideas by hand or on computer, to developing a pattern, cutting and sewing a sample garment, and coordinating and overseeing the production process.  At the end of the 10 weeks, you will possess

• an eye for color, texture, and pattern

• an understanding of essential drawing skills

• an understanding of the properties of different fabrics

• the practical skills for producing clothes, creating designs, and making up sample garments

• pattern-cutting and sewing skills

• the basic ability to communicate ideas through sketches or computer-generated images

• an understanding of budgeting and costing out work

• an understanding of how to market your own work, negotiate with clients and buyers, and organize the administrative and financial side of the business

Each student will work through the process of sketching, selecting fabrics, draping design concepts, and fitting models in both muslin and fabric.  Come and be a part of the fabulous world of fashion first hand.
