Fashion Design
Fashion designers hold an important position in the world of fashion, representing the creative force par excellence in this field. They must be capable designers with an aesthetic sensibility and strong creative flair. Their job is to design and tailor collections, overseeing their technical development, the selection of fabrics and their style coordination, as well as developing innovative ideas and concepts.
The Fashion Design Summer School is designed to introduce students to the fashion world, providing a basic grounding in the design and development of a collection. During the Summer course, students will take an in-depth look at various aspects of this profession, analyze the various phases of the design process, and gain an understanding of the market’s most important trends.
