Fashion Design

The fashion design major focuses on specific problems in apparel design. Solutions demand in-depth investigation of textiles, and skill in pattern making and draping techniques, fashion illustration, and presentation. As a fashion design major, you’ll get practical experience in creating apparel designs suitable for one-of-a-kind or mass production. You’ll learn about industry standards and procedures, and historical and current fashion trends. Projects progress from the simple to the complex. By the end of your fourth semester, you will be designing and presenting coordinated collections. A broad-based academic exploration is strongly encouraged for the successful fashion designer, who will draw upon everything from history to geography to mathematics and biology for inspiration.
