This course introduces students to digital pattern-making for fashion. Students learn to use the CAD hardware and software, designing and modifying patterns virtually. This includes digitizing/converting hard patterns to digital files, modifying existing stock patterns, textile printing, 3-D visualization, and plotting sample patterns. Students receive a hands-on approach to developing virtual patterns through fabric testing, using body measurements, and assembling prototypes for final design approval. Other industry skills are developed, such as creating pattern cards, cutter's musts, grading, and marker making.

As a project-based course, Fashion Construction III introduces the intermediate construction principles for pants and jackets. Tailoring, cut-and-sew knitwear, and creative draping techniques used on a variety of body types, and gender expressions are explored. The principles of proportion, balance, and fit as required for the achievement of well-made garments will also be studied. Pre req: minimum two Fashion construction classes: FASH 2001, FASH 2003, FASH 2020, FASH2022 or FASH2024

Intermediate Fashion studio is a co-taught immersive class that furthers the creative and technical development of the `thinking and making' involved in designing tomorrow's fashion. Students build a three look capsule collection based on their personal research, brought alive in shape and material development through garments. In-depth research and personal conviction infuse the conceptual stage, while translating this sensibility into garment concepts requires heightened attention to detail and execution. Students review and develop approaches to express and communicate design concepts, as well as their realization into fashion garments and collections. Throughout, garments and looks are fitted on models in both muslin and fabric.
