The aims of this course are to introduce you to how fashion is taught in the UK, to build your confidence when researching new ideas through short projects and to enable you to present your designs both verbally and in a two-dimensional format.

The course will include:

• use of drawing and colour materials in presenting design ideas
• research skills - how to use the resources of London (shops, museums and galleries) as sources of inspiration
• illustration skills and drawing from a clothed model
• lectures on current fashion design and a visit to a major fashion exhibition or gallery, such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, to explore the relationship between design in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
