Fashion Design

From freehand drawing techniques and the basics of clothing manufacture, participants quickly progress onto more technical aspects of fashion design such as fabric analysis, garment structure, and an introduction to manufacturing and production.

Participants learn how to analyse design and style in order to successfully and autonomously carry out individual creative research, key to developing innovative proposals, as well as managing the influences and needs of the market, or requests from a client brief or brand image. Today’s fashion designers are also researchers of creativity, constantly seeking inspiration for new design ideas.

Research and experimentation form the foundation of the One Year Fashion Design programme. You explore visual culture, fashion history, contemporary trends, and material references through sketching, photography, collage, and creative investigation.

These research processes are translated into original design outcomes through illustration, textile experimentation, garment development, and prototyping. By combining conceptual thinking with practical making, you learn how professional designers transform inspiration into coherent and innovative fashion proposals.

The programme develops both creative and technical competencies required within contemporary fashion practice. You gain experience in fashion illustration, design development, pattern cutting, garment construction, fabric exploration, and visual communication.
