Fashion offers a dynamic means of personal expression and an influential and creative medium that constantly re-examines boundaries. The Fashion Design major focuses on design development and research, pattern drafting and garment construction following industry methodology.
Workshops under the Fashion Design major include fashion technology, pattern drafting and garment construction, design and concept development, tailoring, experimental dyeing and fabric manipulation techniques. Studies in fashion history, theory, illustration and professional practices complement the practical studio aspects.
Assignments include a modern reinterpretation of a historic design, window dressing, Air NZ Fashion Week backstage work, internships and extra exhibitions, with students showcasing their work on the catwalk at the annual Whitecliffe Fashion Show.
3rd Year
In the third year students develop a conceptually-based designer range of garments that reflect their personal style. Students also gain experience through internships in designer workrooms and both second and third year students participate in Air New Zealand Fashion Week.
