FAS336 Fashion Design II

[2–4, 4 cr.]

This intermediate studio provides fashion students with a comprehensive understanding of Utilitarian Wear, enabling them to expand their knowledge base by exploring both woven (twills) and knitted (jersey) fabrics. The technical aspects of Utilitarian Wear will be the initial focus, followed by students interpreting their research into a fashion collection with a focus on Casualwear/Streetwear. The studio also emphasizes in-depth textile research encouraging a fashion-forward use of technical materials such as twills, synthetics, Lycra, and Techtex. Additionally, the course introduces students to the importance of art direction and photography in creating look books and fashion campaigns. Emphasis is also placed on the development of design ideas that can be transformed into a complete final look, supported by a portfolio of work that includes a consistent lineup of 6 illustrated full looks and two executed looks.
