Introductory to Fashion Design conducted by Inno Sotto. This short introductory workshop on fashion design covers capsule references to the history of costume, fashion theories, components of fashion, the intangibles of fashion, the design process and the fashion systems.
Experimental Fashion conducted by Patrice Ramos-Diaz. This workshop offers experienced designers an opportunity to develop fashion design concepts using different research pathways, creative processes and experimentation. A basic knowledge of design principles and technical skills in fashion design are required.
Modern Menswear Design conducted by Joey Samson. Most of the fashion industry caters to the women of the world. Take this opportunity to learn about a less saturated category: menswear. Learn about general classifications, designing for special occasions, building a wardrobe and designing a collection.
Creative Exercise in Sewing conducted by Pidge Reyes. This workshop aims to familiarize the student with the various tools and machines used in the garment business. Creative exercises prepare the student for advanced sewing courses in garment construction.
Basic Flat Pattern Drafting conducted by Joji Lloren. Students learn to draft basic slopers/patterns, the building blocks of a style pattern, to learn the tools, terms, and methods used for flat pattern drafting.
Draping 1 conducted by Joji Lloren. This workshop introduces the student to another method of pattern making by draping. The students work with fabric instead of paper to create a basic pattern set consisting of the front and back bodice slopers, front and back skirt slopers, and the basic sleeve.
Draping 2 conducted by Roy Gonzales. Draping is an intuitive and enjoyable way to create fashion ideas. By twisting, pleating, folding, gathering and/or layering fabric on a dummy, students can get the most unexpected results. Working with basic blocks, students learn how to draft patterns according to specific measurements.
Introduction to Knitwear conducted by Lulu Tan-Gan. This course offers you the chance to understand knitwear construction and create a project in knitwear design used in knit-loom. Students begin by creating their own fabrics through the process of research and sourcing for inspirational yarns and materials. Students learn how to knit swatches while gaining hands-on experience in pattern calculation and assembly.
Fashion Illustration conducted by Robi Lolin. This workshop is designed to teach the student how to create a fashion sketch as artistic rendering. When rendering a sketch, the freehand movement is guided by proper visualization of how a fabric falls, showing the design details and how mood is created within the sketch.
Fashion Styling conducted by Noel Manapat. Styling is an essential factor in making or breaking an image. Students learn techniques of fashion styling through styling assignments.
Creative Accessories Design conducted by Denis Celestial. This workshop teaches students how to create accessories using conventional material and techniques combined with uncongenial design.
Creative Exercises in Hat Making conducted by Pidge Reyes. This workshop teaches students how to draft, sew and embellish three basic hat shapes: sectioned cap, pillbox and the soft-brimmed hat. This simplified, step-by-step process is designed to give students a solid foundation for hat making.
