About Fashion Design
Fashion Design is for you who are fascinated by clothing and fashion – regardless of whether you are interested in aesthetics, function or how clothes reflect identity and contemporary times.
Through prototypes that you prepare analoguely and digitally, you sharpen your choice of material, colours, composition, proportion and solutions and develop your design skills.
You can experiment with new forms, materials and production technologies, but you also have the opportunity to tone your projects in a generic direction, where you draw on your extended design skills and experiment with clothing as both an identity marker and as function and in usage situations.
Projects
Find out how your competences can best support the projects you are making, and be curious about exploring and pushing the boundaries
As a clothing and fashion designer you have a toolbox full of competencies you might not even be aware of yourself – they’ve simply been built up through your education and interest in the field.
Overall, you have knowledge on shape, material, and colours:
- Shape - You construct or develop patterns, drape, and build the room between the body and the garment. You very likely have special intelligence, and your 3D skills are key to a good fit.
- Materials - Knowing materials will support not only the shape but give the protection and comfort the end user needs, and furthermore either underline the expected look and move or challenge it. Material knowledge also supports choosing the right material for longevity and circular economy.
- Colours - We’re all rounded by the culture we come from and colours also reflects this. In fashion colours can change very rapidly but as a designer you understand what colours means to the end users and how knowing their colour preferences can minimize waste and maximize the joy of wearing the right garment over and over.
- Communication - You communicate visually to yourself and others though mood boards, experiments, materials, colours, collages, and drawings. With a background in clothes and fashion you know how users communicate both their individual and group identity, and the importance of understanding cultures and sub-cultures.
- Society and sign of the time - Through clothes and fashion, you express culture, time, and the society we live in and you’re bold enough to challenge the status quo and suggest a better tomorrow.
