Fashion Design School
The Department of Fashion Design is internationally recognized for its unique interdisciplinary program within a fine arts foundation. Its nontraditional, three-year curriculum within the four-year degree program instills an awareness of the social, political, and technological forces shaping the 21st century.
The fashion curriculum is based on sequential courses that provide a firm foundation in drawing, draping, pattern making, and garment construction. In courses that combine historical research with a contemporary exploration of draping and patternmaking, students extend the traditional boundaries of fashion to examine clothing as it relates to lifestyle, sculptural practice, performance and movement, costume, and art.
Students can select a core pathway that prepares them for the fashion industry, or choose a range of courses that deal with garment in a more conceptual/experimental way. In the core pathway a sequence of linked design and construction classes – in which individuality and originality is strongly encouraged – prepare the students for work in the fashion industry. The department faculty interview students who have completed the First Year Program and review their portfolios for core-course placement.
