MOD 3 – Fashion Production 1
Transform ideas into garments through technical skills and industry know-how.

Basic Production and Technology
Learn the principles of block development, size specifications, and pattern drafting. Practise in group workshops and through individual study to refine your technical abilities.

Textiles, Fabrics, and Materials
Study the characteristics of different fabrics and fibres, developing sensitivity to texture, drape, and colour in fashion design.

Train in the safe and professional use of atelier machinery and tools, applying best practices for production.

MOD 4 – Design Projects & Portfolio Development
Bring together everything you’ve learned in a complete, portfolio-ready project.

Project 1
Apply your accumulated skills to a creative challenge, developing solutions that combine conceptual depth with technical execution. Present your work to professional standards.

Collaborative Multidisciplinary Practice I
Work in teams, sharing responsibilities and combining skills from different disciplines to produce high-quality project outcomes.

Final Project & Portfolio 1
Undertake the full design process for a fashion collection — from research and concept development to garment production and presentation. Merge manual and digital skills, create mood boards, and deliver a physical and digital outcome that reflects your personal style and brand identity.

By the end of Year 1, you will have the creative, technical, and professional skills to take on more advanced challenges in your journey as a fashion designer.
