Postgraduate Certificate in Structural and Integral Fashion Design

.

Structural and integral fashion design is a discipline that focuses on the creation of garments from conception to final production. It is a process that involves several stages, including ideation, design, construction, prototyping, mass production and marketing.

In the early stages of structural and integral fashion design, the aim is to create a clear vision of the garment to determine its style, purpose and target market. This may include researching the latest fashion trends, identifying unique styles and designs, and considering the tastes and needs of the target audience.

As the process progresses, designers create conceptual drawings and designs, which are then transformed into technical patterns. These patterns are the basis for prototyping and creating garments by hand.

Once the garment prototype is ready, it is evaluated in terms of fit and style, and any necessary adjustments are made before mass production begins. This phase may involve working with raw material suppliers, garment manufacturers and other professionals to select the right fabrics, create molds for mass production, and ensure that all garments conform to quality standards.

Finally, marketing the garments involves creating advertising campaigns, organizing fashion events, and working with retailers to bring the garments to market. This is all part of structural and integral fashion design, a discipline that deals with everything from the creation to the marketing of every garment.

At the end of the course, students will be trained in structural and integral fashion design, they will have skills and technical knowledge to devise, design, manufacture and market fashion garments. They will be able to work in different fields of the fashion industry, from haute couture to sustainable fashion.
