Your fashion design dream starts here. Take this class and be ready to build your career in the glitz and glamor of the apparel industry.
This 36-hour full fashion design course (12 sessions x 3 hours) is your comprehensive guide to design and illustration styles that will prepare you to become a creative fashion designer. Structured to challenge and inspire students, lessons combine both theoretical and practical approaches to fashion design. You will get to keep your own “design journal” to compile your original sketches and illustrations as you progress through the lessons.
