Program content
- During the first week you will be lead through the creative process using techniques including collage, 3D experimentation work on colour and styling.
- In the second week you will begin looking at accessory illustration and 3D paperwork (on small and large scale on the stand). You will also have sessions on fashion illustration - a key skill for any designer - and start to work on early design ideas.
- Week three will see you exploring fashion print, big bold illustrations, drawing with the model and a taste of fashion journalism. You will also have a chance to get out and about in London, going to key fashion hot spots to draw and photograph street styles and start to get inspiration from London, the fashion capital.
- The final week will include more trips to enable you to gain inspiration from the world around you to start to compile your own fashion collection, which you will work up on paper back in the studio and create final illustrations of your fashion collection. Work that will be invaluable in any portfolio should you wish to apply to a fashion college in the future.
