This course will focus on the creative process of designing fashion apparel by gathering inspiration, creating mood boards, and sketching. Students will be introduced to the 5 essential considerations of fashion design: fabric, silhouette, design detail, proportion, and functionality. Students will sketch their design ideas on full length figures (croquis) and will learn how to talk about their ideas in class.
The course also covers flat sketching (symmetrical front and back sketch of a garment) which students can use as a construction guide in pattern making.
Upon registration, students will receive a Syllabus which includes a supply list.
