Fashion Design in New York City
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 New York City’s fashion industry including: design, marketing, merchandising, styling, and finding your individual style. Examine the history and future of fashion through site visits and gain exposure to the fundamentals of a fashion career by meeting with industry leaders—including designers, merchandisers, and stylists—to discuss design, craft, construction, and trend spotting. Get a peek into majoring in fashion and related topics through this pre-college experience, and discover what it takes to succeed in the fashion industry! As a final project, you’ll practice fashion sketching, create a signature look and design a six-piece collection.
Please note: This course does not include hands-on experience with sewing or garment construction.
