Description

The course provides an introduction to textiles, explored in the context of Fashion. The course covers the design of textiles for the fashion, apparel and accessories Industry. Particular emphasis will be placed on the textiles used, the selection of fabrics and the manipulation of the textile surface for fashion garments. It will also cover the work of selected designers, investigating how they incorporate specific textile techniques into their fashion ranges. The course will focus on design as a process, ways of interpreting trend inspirations and will culminate in a final textile surface design / print collection. Students will design their own textile collection based on research into current market and fashion trends, applying these influences to the design process.
