Teamwork to launch individual fashion design brands, showcase brand design elements, interpret design works, and conduct a clothing runway show.
I have learned to understand the latest fashion trends and design inspirations through fashion magazines and books, and I have learned to use design software to create design sketches. At the same time, I have gained a deeper understanding of the fashion design process, from conceptualizing ideas to pattern drafting, fabric selection, cutting, and sewing machine operation. Seeing the designs on paper gradually become clothes worn on the body fills me with a sense of accomplishment.
—— Jiangxi Hanvos High School - Student Ye
I have tried many new things in this program. The work of fashion design is much richer than I originally imagined. Previously, I focused more on conceptualizing ideas and drawing style sketches. Still, this program has allowed me to get hands-on experience in making clothes, leading me to appreciate the complexity of craftsmanship deeply. There is still much more for me to learn and practice, and I hope always to maintain curiosity, constantly explore and study diligently, and achieve higher success and rewards in my beloved professional field.
—— Shanghai Experimental Cambridge International School (Pudong Campus) - Student Pan
I have acquired much knowledge about fashion design and related skills, such as pattern drafting, collage, pattern making, and sewing. This program allows me to unleash creativity, enhance design skills, and bring opportunities for personal growth and career development. Through these programs, we can realize our dreams in the fashion industry and lay the foundation for our future.
