Course Description

Learn from an industry professional how a fashion designer works, day to day, in New York City. Students will create inspiration boards and fashion sketches influenced by the day's discoveries. Explore fabric and trim sources, the inner workings of a sample room and factory, and learn how a collection is really produced. You will walk away with a journal of resources and a body of knowledge that you can use throughout your fashion career. Depending on availability, students will visit the Garment District and discover the resources designers use to create their collections.
