LEARNING FOCUS

Week 1

In the first week participants explore the textile area of the fashion industry with a focus on original textile designs, from inspiration to their application. Learning about the art of creating textiles and their manipulation, participants explore their own creativity and different ways of creating prints, textures and surface decoration before developing a personal collection of textile designs.

Week 2

In the second week, participants explore the digital techniques applied to fashion textiles. With a main focus on Applied Technology and Innovative Textile Design, Smart Textiles and the analysis of the impact of innovation and ecology on the economy, participants research and propose personal concepts on Inventing the Future of Fabrics.

Week 3

During the final week of the course, participants work on finalising their personal concepts into a collection of textile designs. The design ideas are further developed through individual tutoring and guidance by textile experts and finally presented in a visual design portfolio.
