The 3-year course in Fashion Design at Accademia del Lusso will help you do all this and more, by equipping you with all of the technical skills and experience you need to succeed in the competitive fashion industry.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The 3-year course in Fashion Design follows the entire process of creating fashion collections, from the first sketches to the final creation.

It begins by providing an overview of the evolution of fashion and design and the relationship between fashion and history, society, art, and culture. This provides a foundation upon which you will continue to build throughout your career, and which will inform your research and choices when developing your creations. Examining Italian and international case studies is also an important part of the course.

You will gain on- and offline trend research techniques, learning to anticipate future trends and to work in line with the concept and market demands. Practical workshops will teach you a range of essential skills such as fashion sketching and drawing, understanding fabrics, patternmaking and tailoring, how to use color, sizing, using CAD for 2D and 3D patternmaking, and designing your own set of fashion prints. You will develop collections for womenswear, menswear, sportswear, knitwear, accessories, children swear, underwear, and swimwear.

You will learn how to successfully market your creations by using the correct sales and communication strategies, using social media efficiently, and creating a merchandising plan.

Finally, you will acquire vital business skills for an enduring career, such as gaining knowledge about the various business types, brand management, and how to set up your own business.

By the end of the course you will have created a professional profile which you will be able to present to companies, and you will have learnt online presentation skills which will be important for your future career.

Furthermore, all final year students have the chance to showcase their creations in our professional standard end-of-year student Fashion Show before an international audience including industry experts, media & influencers.
