Consists of theoretical and knowledge-based teaching. Including an understanding of fashion and its history, which is a necessary background for future creativity. To be used as fashion inspiration for future fashion collections. There should also be a focus on inspiring useful ideas from the history of fashion to the present day.

The task is to find a characteristic male and/or female costume from the style period and choose one or more interesting details or garments to describe and visualize in its context (time & place – cut, shape & silhouette). Then the detail or cladding part is made in the chosen material.

The project will be used as fashion inspiration for future fashion collections. There should also be a focus on inspiring useful ideas from the history of fashion to the present day.

Materials for the project can be found in fashion books, museum websites, museum brochures and postcards. The student must find original costumes from the periods. It is possible to use the school’s books as inspiration – and find the correct costumes within the different style periods.

Consists of communicating ideas through drawing and illustrations in a fashion context. Contains work tools and a development processes that are fundamental to being able to communicate ideas and messages. The objective is to learn how to translate inspiration into drawing and develop a personal graphic style in order to be able to oversee the preparation process in connection with a professional graphic presentation. Understanding of fashion and working graphically with fashion and expressing it through sketches to a professional visual expression.

The teaching must lead to the student being able to present his own design in a professional manner through drawings and illustrations. The teaching includes improving drawing technique, body awareness, balance, proportions and substance similarity. Through the use of knowledge about the use of details in clothing, the student must learn to integrate these into their own collections.

For each submission, the student must present a portfolio in accordance with the finished product, which is continuously further developed. The subject works with the following topics and techniques within fashion drawing and illustration: the human body, movement, sketching techniques, collage, coloring, proportions and silhouette, collection construction, presentation as well as fashion and trends.

The student must achieve a confidential relationship with the subject and thereby be able to pass on his ideas in an understandable way for the recipient and must present a portfolio for each submission in accordance with the finished product which is continuously further developed. A professional portfolio must be available for the exam.

Consists of basic and advanced techniques and material theory to be able to create a three-dimensional model with structure and shape including tailoring technique, press technique, fitting technique and material theory.

Through tailoring techniques, it must be possible to translate an individual design into a modern, high-quality product. The product is processed with iron-on inlay materials, so that it achieves a functional and period-typical expression. The student must gain an understanding of form, finish, materials and technique at a high level of craftsmanship, and is able to produce a product containing an original expression.

A classic task is reviewed, including pattern cutting, stiffening, pressing technique, adaptation to mannequin, lines and shapes, adaptation of buttons, pockets, lapels and so on. Patterns are then adapted to the students’ individual goals, and the students carry out the task in every detail – not least in terms of showing an understanding of fashion in connection with tailoring. The students will thus be able to use the learned procedure and technique for a fixed task. Prior to the start of this course, the students have carried out tailoring-related sewing and cutting tasks.

Consisting of deconstruction as a theoretical and aesthetic concept, you will be introduced to various aspects of deconstruction in fashion. Conventional rules for function, silhouette and production technique are challenged, and materials, techniques and new expressions are explored.

Based on the concept of deconstruction, the students must design and develop a series of 2 to 3 outfits (one outfit covers the whole body). These outfits are made from self-selected clothing parts, which are changed, processed and put together again, with minimal use of new materials. The project involves the students trying to bend the conventional rules for function, silhouette and production technique within clothing, and the students are tasked with testing, processing, reforming materials, techniques and new expressions.

The students must simultaneously document their project progress in the form of photo documentation, sketches and sewing samples which must be presented at the end. Methods, techniques within detail development, material and silhouette studies, design/idea/concept, sewing samples, etc. are taught and emphasis is placed.

Contains basic understanding of product characteristics, product and material knowledge. Emphasis is placed on sustainability with the aim of understanding and participating in production and product development processes.

Starting from a sustainable fashion and/or design company, the students must set up a problem formulation that focuses on sustainability in the fashion industry. The students start by visiting the company where they are introduced to the company’s strategy and vision in the form of lectures.

In addition, they learn about the sustainable life cycle. After which, in groups, they must go through a design process that must end in a finished sustainable product. The course ends with a presentation of the project.

Consists of design processes and principles within design, product development and processing. Through the teaching, the students learn to see lines and shapes and to understand the interaction between idea, material, form and trends in order to achieve the excitement of the unlimited possibilities in the creative work process.

It starts with working in stout on the mannequin to achieve the basic understanding of the shape of the body. After this, basic forms for skirts and tops are prepared, after which work is done with thread directions, shapes and lines. Starting from the basic forms, the individual tasks are started.

This is followed by a draping task with a focus on origami/reconstruction. The students must gain an understanding of form and composition, proportional shift and material composition. In addition, creative draping and creative cutting as well as designing creative ideas for patterns in paper and stout follow.

Consists of advanced techniques, where an understanding of form and composition, proportional shift and material composition is achieved. In addition, creative draping and creative cutting as well as the design of creative ideas follow.

It starts with working with advanced basic shapes in combination with the shapes of the body. Draping is complimented with tailoring, where the students have to develop their ideas from two-dimensional solution proposals to three-dimensional garment parts.

Through the work, the students will gain a realistic understanding of design development with the help of conventional cutting and creative material processing on the mannequin. The work facilitates a process that encourages students to experiment and design on the mannequin, and then the skills necessary to transfer their work to patterned paper, drawing on the skills gained through the cutting phase.

Contains knowledge of relationship between material and finish, using advanced sewing and material techniques and working with form, silhouette and making a craft, qualitative product. Construction and draping are also included, with an emphasis on idea development, detail and finish.

The students are introduced to the task of idea development in the form of thoughts, notes, sketching and photo registration. During the course, the student is tasked with creating an original, creative product that is draped on a gin or made using construction, as well as acquiring an optimal finish in harmony with material, shape and silhouette.

A theme is chosen and from here the student must work with shape, silhouette and produce a high-quality, artisanal product. We work with construction and draping at a high level with an emphasis on detail and finish. Along the way, work is done in small groups, around idea development and adjustment.
