Fashion and Design

About this program

This course introduces students to the exciting world of fashion design, blending creativity, artistic expression, and practical design principles. Students will explore the fashion industry while learning the fundamentals of fashion illustration, color theory, textiles, garment construction, trend forecasting, branding, and the fashion design process. The course also examines the history of fashion, cultural influences, sustainability, and career opportunities within the industry. Through creative projects and design challenges, students will develop their own fashion concepts while building skills in visual communication, problem-solving, and design thinking.
