Learn how to develop a collection just like a fashion designer! Each day we will work on a different step in the design development process. At the end of the week, learners will have a completed project that replicates the work shown in fashion design portfolios. Day 1: Create a concept board Day 2: Develop color palettes Day 3: Build a fabric + print story Day 4: Sketch design ideas Day 5: Present fashion collection We will work together in creating our collection and explore how to think like fashion designers. On our last day of class, we will be learning how to communicate our design ideas and share with each other the fashion collections we've created! Additional resources and a custom design development template will be provided at least two weeks prior to the start of class (scroll to the bottom of the "classroom" tab to find attachments). See below for basic materials needed. No previous experience is required. *If you have taken my Intro to Fashion Design: Behind-the-Scenes class, this is putting that knowledge to action!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the step-by-step process of developing a collection through activity-based projects. The projects we complete will replicate the development process shown in fashion design portfolios.
