Curso de Summer Course in Fashion Design Research

PROGRAM

Creative Research

This is the discipline that identifies social trends related to consumerism and fashion. Fashion Cool hunting offers a global view of the fashion industry, teaching real-world, basic techniques for hunting down trends. Trend studios that work constantly on trend analysis and research in order to predict them have become key reference points for all kinds of industries and sectors, not only in the field of fashion, which use their services to focus their production. This subject collects information and analyses the concepts that develop in our society and culture.

3D experimentation

Moulage is the art of modelling fabric on a mannequin, a technique used by the great fashion designers to bring their ideas to life that has been compared on innumerable occasions with the work done by a painter on canvas. This technique leads to new cuts and volumes through improvisation and intuition. Moulage Couture is based on answering the students' queries about their creative process by teaching them the different ways to create a garment from a more creative viewpoint. All this work is aimed at obtaining a final portfolio.

Collection

To design a collection is one of the most exciting tasks in Fashion. Through the creative universe and different methods we will design an unusual and very personal collection with a professional view. Always avoiding the copy and trying to open the boundaries in experimental creativity.

Sketchbook

The work begins with the development of the concept and an investigation into the volume and silhouette of the garment that is to be made (research techniques using moodboards, creativity exercises and innovative concepts, all entered into the sketchbook). The basics are essential for defining the development of a collection and the final prototype.

Creative Prints and color Lab

A creative and open Lab to allow students to develop some prints for a specific garment. Techniques such as silkscreen printing, heat transfer with iron-on inks and textile manipulations using bleaching, dyeing, sewing, weaving, embroidery, etc. will be used to create a repertory of patterns, textures, colors and compositions. Working in a sophisticated and professional way, students will have to demonstrate their ability to experiment on fabrics, create a contemporary and personal print and get its perfect integration on their volume.
