This department trains future fashion designers. It prepares students to become specialists in the artistic design of clothing. Students are capable of creating collections with a strong creative component in which manual skills and knowledge of craft and industrial techniques are applied in an innovative way. The department focuses on a cultural training that fosters through research, the development of talent and the deepening of methods of transforming the creative impulse into innovative and competitive fashion collections.
The student acquires the ability to realise the project idea, to carry out its correct evaluation, to select and achieve awareness of the choice of materials and to manage the relationship between feasibility and expressive needs, including quality/cost/limit of materials. The student is trained in the study and research of textile and non-textile materials with the aim of finding new multi-material formal languages.
At the end of the academic course, the works are presented to the public. The student will put the accent not only on the creation of the outfit, but also on the dynamic of the problems relative to the creation of the event (fashion show), from the set design to the design of the invitations, the search for the venue for of the presentation of the project, to the evaluation of the budget for the press conference.
