Draping Womenswear Design Short Course

Course description

In this course, offered on campus or online, you will discover how to use draping as an experimental and playful tool to generate fashion ideas.

This beginner’s course teaches the principles of draping, including how to manipulate fabrics through twisting, folding, gathering, and layering to create stunning results. You’ll create collages, sketches, and designs based on your draping work, while building a portfolio of 3D images. This portfolio will be valuable when applying for foundation or BA courses in fashion and could even form the beginning of your fashion collection.
