Fashion Design Level 3

Overview

Fashion Design Level 3 is the advanced level of the CIS fashion design program, where you take everything learned in pattern making and garment construction and apply it to a full, self made collection. Over 24 hours, you will refine your pattern and muslin work, expand into new stitches, closures and finishing techniques, and learn how to present your work like a professional designer.

The level closes with a full collection project: pattern pieces and finished garments on muslin or real fabric, built entirely by you and presented on a set deadline. This is also where you are introduced to the business side of fashion, from branding and packaging to understanding your market.
