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.

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.

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.

Combine creative, aesthetic and technical design skills. Work will be done with 3D sketching, both analogue and digital. There will be a focus on the student’s individual experimental work with form and material based on different techniques.

The teaching will have an emphasis on the student’s individual investigations and ideas and will introduce different construction methods and experiments, both analogue and digital. Emphasis will be placed on an investigative and testing approach to the subject, and the teaching will primarily be carried out through practical work in the workshop with lasercut and in the 3D visualization program CLO with continuous guidance and feedback.

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.

Contains a basic understanding of jersey as a flexible and flexible material, as well as knowledge of design within upcycling and Zero Waste in knitting.

Starting from cut off and “end of rolls” jersey by the meter, from parent companies or textile manufacturers, the material is worked with and tests are carried out to gain knowledge of sewing in and treatment of stretch fabric. In addition, a research and materials portfolio must be prepared containing ideas from form/Zero Waste and from finish/upcycling off cuts workshops as well as mock-ups/sewing samples in different scales. The students must carry out a small collection of minimum 2 designs in the material jersey, thereby acquiring knowledge and experience that enables them to reduce the use of resources in the design process.
