Modules
You will be introduced to the course and you will also expand your knowledge of the industry through a thorough introduction to the structure of the fashion industry as well as an overview of what you work with as a fashion designer. Subsequently, we will start with idea generation where we collect inspiration through magazines, websites etc. to create a collage that can inspire to the product development.
The work continues from the previous module, where the students continue to gather inspiration through magazines, websites etc. with the goal to create a collage that can inspire the product development.
Construction of a mini-collection or a product begins, on the basis of the collected inspiration material. Here we will sketch/collage ideas in terms of clothing parts, and a common thread between idea generation and sketching/collage will be continuously built.
The work on the construction of a mini-collection or a product is continued. Here we will sketch/collage ideas in terms of clothing parts, and a common thread between idea generation and sketching/collage will be continuously built.
There is an introduction to fashion illustration, where you start and think about product development. Product development takes place by sketching and/or illustration via computer/tablet where the focus is on form and function.
The free sketching from product development is prepared as flat drawings, where measurements, details and descriptions are added. The flat drawings are prepared so that they can be used for production, where others can read how the design should be produced.
A detail, a piece or a design is selected from the flat drawings from which a pattern is made. The dimensions indicated on the flat drawings are transferred to pattern paper so that the pattern parts are formed for the selected part.
The pattern pieces are transferred to the cotton canvas, which is a material used for sewing samples and tests. The various parts are subsequently sewn together on a sewing machine so that they finally form the selected design in a three-dimensional model.
The work is continued from the previous module, where the students continue to work with the chosen design/product. During the module, there will be individual sparring, and the course participants will continuously receive feedback regarding tools that can be used, good advices for implementation, etc.
The selected product/design is finalized and we will review all design. There will subsequently be feedback and guidance on how the course participants can use their newly learned knowledge and experience in their further progress in the fashion industry.
