The first year provides a grounding in fashion and design through a wide variety of practical, creative and technical classes and projects.
The second year is more focused, with the emphasis on experimentation, more in-depth project research and 3D development. New skills are introduced such as tailoring and fashion prediction, as well as collaborative project work both with industry and within the textile area.
