Welcome back, designer. You’ve mastered the language of fashion; now it’s time to tell your own story.

Fashion Design 101: Advanced is where your technical skill transforms into true artistry. This course is crafted for the dedicated creator ready to move beyond the fundamentals and cultivate a unique and compelling design signature. We will challenge you to think critically, experiment boldly and refine your creative process, pushing you to develop not just individual garments, but a cohesive, market-aware collection.

This is your opportunity to go deeper and truly define your voice. We will focus on the industry-level skills that separate a student from a professional designer:

• Advanced Draping & Pattern Making: Move beyond flat patterns to master the art of draping directly on the form, creating sophisticated silhouettes and complex structures.

• Cohesive Collection Development: Learn to build an entire collection from a single point of inspiration, ensuring a consistent narrative from your mood board to your final lineup.

• Textile Innovation & Sourcing: Explore advanced fabric manipulation, surface design, and the business of sourcing materials that align with your brand’s ethos.

• Portfolio & Brand Identity: Curate and style a professional-grade portfolio that showcases your singular vision and prepares you for a career in the fashion industry.

This course is the definitive next step for graduates of our Basics course or for anyone with a strong foundational knowledge who is ready to elevate their work. It’s time to stop studying fashion and start shaping it.
