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 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 the experimental process, where research and idea development is about being intuitive, innovative, curious and useful. Research and idea development is about investigation In the past and present and about registration, both visually and informatively.

The design process is an experimental process, where research and idea development are the starting point for the creative process which provides inspiration, information and shows the creative and narrative path to a collection. In the process itself, trends, social, cultural and political topics are worked on, and emphasis is placed on silhouette, material, shape, colour, details, print and decoration. Research is a journey of shorter or longer duration, which ends up with the realization of ideas that can be translated into a collection.

During the course, the students will work with investigation, registration, experimentation, design, trends, culture and society.

Consists of the design process, which includes design research, design methods, aesthetics, sustainability and industry and user needs based on sociological research methods and trend analysis.

What is a collection and how is it created? What influence does the political, social and cultural aspect have? Sustainability? Audience? These topics are processed at the same time as several sketched solution proposals with the possibility of different shape and material options are worked on. The focus is on the material in connection with design, manufacturing process, target group, sales promotion, branding etc.

During the course, the students must work with research, analysis, criticism, assessment, concept and goal setting. We are working with several sketched solution proposals with the possibility of different shapes, lines and material options. The focus is on the material in connection with construction, manufacturing process, etc. In the material-specific process, the sketching phase will often transition to the direct production of one or more products using form, material, drapery and construction trials.

Consists of digital graphic design in connection with product development, fashion working drawing and presentation material. Provides technical digital skills so that the student will be able to carry out digital design work for professional purposes.

Using Adobe’s teaching material, the student will gain familiarity with the programs Illustrator and Photoshop. During the course, Illustrator’s various tools will be taught, where the primary focus is on clothing parts, design and construction, textile surfaces and fashion graphics. Furthermore, students will become familiar with Photoshop, learn all of the program’s tools, and develop the student’s skills to produce professional quality images. During the course, the students must work with work & fashion drawing, target chart, image processing and drawing techniques.

Consists of basic pattern cutting and sewing techniques followed by relevant tasks for a better understanding of design, technique, finish and quality.

Basic theory around model development is reviewed and the students produce basic shapes in paper. Variations on the basic forms are reviewed and the student is tasked with creating a portfolio with executions of basic basic forms and variations on these in quarter size.

The student is continuously tasked with carrying out a designer’s work on a half- or full-length figure, in order to show an understanding of the design techniques. In addition, the students must design a portfolio with samples of different sewing techniques, which are made before each project.

Deals with the development and design of concepts and solutions for the target group. Value-oriented work is carried out with research, analysis, sketching, collection building and development of presentation portfolios with a view to formulating proposed solutions.

During the course, the students must work with research, analysis, sketching, collection building and development of a presentation folder. During the course, the student must be taught in various departments within concept development, from decoding the trends of the time to use in launching a brand.

Concept development is a fast and efficient method for creating a concrete solution based on the ideas you have worked with, and the students must therefore concretize the main idea behind the selected ideas, so that it is developed into a strong concept.
