PATTERNMAKING FOR FASHION DESIGN II

DS 453

Explore the digital dimension of patternmaking through industry-standard computer-aided design (CAD) software. Examines the advantages of computer-assisted patternmaking, and considers the potential impact of emerging and future technologies. Emphasis is placed on digitizing patterns, manipulating basic blocks, creating garment models, and developing original garment designs.

DS 154

Emphasizes specialty fabrics, finishes and complex construction such as matching plaids and working with pile fabrics. Introduces pattern manipulation through basic flat patternmaking principles. Design and fabricate an original collection of garments for a target customer and will develop and construct two of the garments.

DS 253

Introduces flat patternmaking as a fundamental technique in apparel design. Explore foundational concepts and principles through manipulation of pattern blocks and the typology of garment styles and silhouettes to execute original designs. Develop pattern drafts for simple garments by applying fundamental patternmaking techniques (dart manipulation, adding fullness, contouring). Emphasis is placed on understanding garment construction in translating design concepts into accurate pattern drafts.

DS 215

The principles and theories of flat pattern, drafting and draping methods for 3D accessories are explored. The principles of patternmaking are applied to headwear, handbags and footwear. Complete projects that require designing, patterning and constructing hats, bags and footwear.

DS 152

Introduces core principles of fashion design with a focus on creativity, sustainability, critical thinking, and concept development. Emphasizes silhouette, proportion, scale, and materiality as foundational elements in developing design aesthetics. Includes research and sketching as part of the design process, from initial inspiration to presentation of garment concepts. Explores historical and contemporary fashion to inform original work. Develops skills in trend forecasting, market analysis, and flat sketching.
