0 credits $365

Professional fashion designers gain experience creating a garment at the highest level as you take a personal journey in artistic development and elevate your technical skills to couture level. Start with mood boards, customer muse profiling and progress through the entire creative process employed by creator designers - the croquis book, final sketches, and swatch selection. Go from moulage making to muslins, and toiles to show a worthy garment. Fit techniques, luxury fabric sewing and couture finishing is stressed. Final segment covers how to define a recognizable label and build a brand. More advanced students make toiles and more than one garment.

Enrollment is limited to 16, professional designers only. Portfolios and/or sample work must be brought to first session. Some additional expense for necessary materials. Request supply list by calling 212 217.7715 or visit www.fitnyc.edu/masterclass.
