Advanced Fashion Design Course

01.Two overseas trainings are held to enable students to learn about real fashion.

Overseas trainings with intensive study are being planned at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) for second-year students and at design offices in Europe for fourth-year students. Students will be able to learn professional techniques and business acumen from designers currently active on the actual front lines.

02.Students acquire professional-level skills in four years.

The professional skills acquired range from the specialized knowledge that students have gained in the curriculum through their third year, which includes draping for women’s apparel and the handling of specialized materials, to the advanced techniques in men’s tailored apparel useful for handling upscale clothing that fourth-year students learn. Students also receive substantial practical training, including clothes making that begins with going off to domestic factories to search for outstanding materials.

03.Students gain business knowledge for selling their own clothing.

Students acquire practical knowledge and techniques for developing their own brands of clothing into businesses, such as negotiating skills and import and export practices for stocking materials smoothly, domestically and internationally. Moreover, the substantial curriculum has students establish their own branding and produce designs for every season of the year, working one on one with the top-rate instructors guiding them.

04.Advanced diplomas may also be acquired, in addition to fashion-related qualifications.

Along with the fashion-related qualifications constituted by the second level of the Pattern Making Skill Test and the Fashion Business Proficiency Test, students can also acquire advanced diplomas granted to those who have completed a four-year course of study at a vocational school.
