COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our fashion design course provides you with the skills you need to create innovative designs, either for the catwalks of high couture or ready-to-wear garments. You will gain the skills and knowledge to work as a fashion designer and understand all aspects of the industry. You’ll conceptualise your design, develop your drawing skills, and learn about texture, colour and fabric, pattern making and garment construction as you work towards turning raw materials into a unique, finished product.
You’ll study fashion history, cultural and social attitudes to fashion, and trends that have influenced our industry today.
The course will also develop your strong communication and interpersonal skills to share your vision, whilst training you in the finance, sales and marketing side (including digital marketing and event management).
You’ll have access to industry standard software programs including 3D design, CAD illustration, Adobe and WGSN, which will help you apply your new skills in a practical setting through an internship opportunity with an Australian fashion organisation.
This course will allow you to work alongside our supportive teachers in our brand new design hub with mentors, creatives and designers. You’ll also be able to showcase your collection in your final year in our fashion parade where parents, teachers, industry and VIPs will celebrate your achievements.
Once you have completed our fashion course, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for our resident program within the design hub and become one of our emerging designers.
