Depending on their chosen level of study, participants work on projects such as an in-depth analysis of clothing or accessories manufacturing, or the language of couture construction versus ready to wear. They progress through various stages of the design process from fashion illustration, pattern making, pattern cutting, construction or prototyping, right through to the finished garment or product. Pathways offer further options to specialise in a chosen area or fashion design profession.
