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.

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 circular design approaches, where utilization of already existing resources will be the focal point. Sustainable design products are developed and created that have a commercial and marketable expression and communication material is prepared with a view to selling the products.

Students will apply design principles and hand sewing and construction techniques to produce a unique piece of upcycled, sustainable clothing and they will gain the necessary skills to execute their design ideas, based on deconstruction and reconstruction techniques.

The students must produce a design based on existing products that add new value. The design can be an upper part (top, shirt, blazer, coat etc), lower part (skirt, trousers etc) or accessories (hat, bag, shoes etc). The process includes research, inspiration, sketches, illustrations, material selection, pattern construction, photo documentation, working drawings and styling. The project is finally presented in an overall visual presentation.

Consists of theory around model development and designing patterns using sustainable solutions. Advanced sewing techniques will also be included, after which a course with advanced techniques and solutions as well as haute couture techniques will be introduced.

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.

Advanced sewing technique is presented, where the student must go through courses with advanced techniques and solutions. At the same time, haute couture techniques are introduced to the students. During the tailoring process, experiments are carried out based on the basic principles of tailoring on half and full mannequins.

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.

Consists of exploring the design philosophy and structure of design companies, with a view to creating a visual collection. The goal of the project is for the students to gain insight and experience within a company’s practice. The company’s vision and mission are explored in depth and the students get the opportunity to experience the workings of a company up close and the students thereby gain a physical insight into the company.

The project is based on an existing Danish company from the Danish fashion industry. Based on the chosen company, the students must develop a collection consisting of six sets (eight-fourteen items of clothing), where the starting point is the company’s design philosophy and its structure. Before the students visit the company, they conduct research about the company, its design values, target group and design DNA. The students must then design a digital portfolio containing a description of the company, target group, price range, inspiration, theme, fabric and color samples, fashion drawings, collection overview and working drawings.

Consists of research and idea development. Process, photo registration, for experimantation on mannequin, color and material scheme, segment and sales presentation, sewing technical solutions, material selection and solutions, collection overview are reviewed.

The students start from research and idea development. Process, photo registration, for experimentation on mannequin, color and material scheme, segment and sales presentation, sewing technical solutions, material selection and solutions, collection overview are reviewed.

During the course, the students must learn to observe options and solutions, and gain understanding and knowledge based on these choices. A detailed development of the chosen concept must be shown, which is eventually designed into a collection. The students must be able to explain and justify their concept and the choices made during the process.

At the end of the course, the students must present their completed portfolio.
