Fashion Design II

A perfect step up for our slightly older budding designers. In this full-day session campers learn how to take a slightly more complex garment (a top) from concept to completion in a creative, fun-filled setting. Students may work on more advanced sewing techniques like curves and darts and receive additional design challenges to stimulate their creative energies... Project Runway style…building confidence and independence on the machines. Prior sewing experience not necessary. Instruction and supervision will be adjusted to the skill level of each of the students.

What do students learn in fashion design II?

• Students will learn to fine tune their unique creative voice, that began in FDI, as they further explore their changing interests, needs and wants.

• Focus on details in fashion history, that were inspired by major events, understand some of the art concepts as they relate to apparel design.

• Study the work of famous designers and have fun examining clothing and costumes from around the world, the influence of weather, culture, traditions and norms.

• Develop, confidence and independence on the machines as they re-enforce their learnings from prior years.

• Continue to build confidence as they start to experiment with their 'cat-walk', sharing and showing-off their creation in a fun fashion show.
