Studio courses include pattern drafting, tailoring, and creative design.
Elective courses cover costume history, fashion illustration, textiles and accessory design.
In the production course students use the CAD system to develop patterns and markers, textile designs and storyboards. Students are encouraged to develop individual interests and styles, while learning detailing techniques and considering issues of marketability, cost, care and comfort. All fashion students organize and produce an annual show of their work. Show responsibilities include working with lighting, sound, set design, models, copy writing and promotion. Sophomores and juniors present their work on campus, while seniors present their degree project collections at a Spring gala held at a different location each year.
