Overview

Fashion Design Level 1 is the entry point into CIS College’s fashion design program. Over 24 hours of hands on instruction, you will build the foundation every designer needs before touching a sewing machine: how to turn inspiration into a mood board, how color and styling work together, and how to draw the human figure and the garments you imagine on it.

You do not need any prior drawing or design experience. The course walks you through fashion genres and history, the right vocabulary for every garment piece, and step by step drawing techniques, so that by the end you can sketch a complete, colored fashion figure and start building your own design portfolio.

What You Will Learn

How to develop a design idea from inspiration into a concept and mood board using collages and research sheets
The different fashion genres, styles, seasons and the fashion pyramid
Color theory, including the color wheel, warm and cool tones, tints, shades and how to mix and apply colors in styling and garments
Styling tricks suited to different body and figure shapes and skin tones
The correct vocabulary for garment pieces including jackets, skirts, dresses, trousers, tops, necks and collars
Drawing techniques for the fashion figure, face, hands, legs and clothing details, front, side and back
How to produce a full, colored fashion figure using at least two coloring media such as color pencils, watercolor, gouache or markers
