Introduction
Progression Programmes are groups of specialised learning blocks or ‘levels’ that prepare participants with the skills and knowledge to enter the fashion industry. Each course is structured in four distinct certificate levels ranging from an introductory level, working through to a higher comprehension of skill and study.
The Fashion Design Programme provides participants with the techniques to design and create menswear or womenswear, while responding to changing needs in the international fashion and luxury industries. Fashion designers are the inspiration for creative ideas and new trends, not only in clothing, but also in fabric development. They create collections based on an informed analysis of materials and fabrics in connection with art, design, creativity, and fashion.
Starting with skills in sketching and drawing, this course moves on to address techniques in fashion design and fabric and clothing manufacturing, as well as cultural studies in the history of dress, and the fashion system. Working directly from their own illustrated ideas participants progress on to collection design and garment making; selecting the most appropriate materials, analysing fabrics, applying draping and pattern cutting techniques, and final garment construction. Selected participants will attend a final graduation event or a fashion show that introduces collections or portfolios to an industry audience – a unique experience opening up industry networking and career opportunities.
