Fashion Collection Development

Catalog description

Focuses on the process of designing a fashion collection. Collection development is a 'holistic,' studio-based practice that requires integration of all the technical skills acquired by students: different types of research, ideation, conceptualization, fabric sourcing, fabric manipulation, surface design, sketching, technical drawing, illustration, design and execution. Provides a step-by-step approach to designing a fashion collection and guides students through different stages of the process. Gives special attention to organization and line planning to create a cohesive fashion collection for a catwalk show or digital exhibition space.
