FAS332 Fashion Design II

[2–6, 5 cr.]

This studio is a twofold design studio that introduces the art of fashion tailoring and knitwear. Tailoring is a craft that requires sensitivity and perfectionism. Knits, on the other hand, are components that complement couture fashion trends. Art, design and craft are brought together in this studio to develop personal concepts and to produce finely tailored garments along with fitting knits. The quality of design and patternmaking are addressed in detail, in addition to understanding the fitting process, selection of textiles and weaves, color scheming, sewing, and selection of accessories. This studio culminates in a fashion show organized at the end of the term.

Prerequisite: FAS331 Fashion Design I – Co-requisite: FAS342 Construction I and FAS352 Digital Studio II
