Introduction to Fashion Design in New York

From the luxury and sophistication of the Upper East Side to the punk rock grit of the Lower East Side, New York City is a vibrant and diverse center of fashion. In this introductory course, explore the fashion industry, from design and marketing to merchandising and styling, and find your individual style. Examine the history and future of fashion through a visit to a museum and a design studio. Explore the fundamentals of a fashion career by discussing design, craft, construction, and trend spotting, and learn what it takes to succeed in the fashion industry today. Through fashion sketching, create a signature look and then build toward a five-piece collection by the end of the course. Students are required to bring sketchpads and pencils to the first class. Please note: This course does not include hands-on experience with sewing or garment construction.
