STUDY
Fashion Design
Students will obtain in-depth knowledge on fabrics, colours and trends while learning how to keep up with the industry’s standards. They will also learn the basics of marketing which will help them define the target market, enable close work relations and effective communication to produce a successful collection.
Pattern Making
The training at ESMOD schools cover the two principal methods of pattern making – flat pattern making & drape or modelling directly onto the Lavigne Bust (draping mannequin). In this process, students will transform their initial drawings into draping and pattern making that will be used to form a prototype.
Final Collection
The realisation of a personal collection becomes the students’ main focus in their third year. They will apply the skills acquired to produce realistic designs in a chosen specialised area of womenswear, menswear or both, discovering and expressing their own individual styles as they learn about trends, materials and detailed research methods.
Jury Week & Fashion Show
To become a professional is to be able to present and communicate personal ideas and concepts. Hence, students will present their collections to a panel of fashion industry professionals to be evaluated. Final year students will celebrate the end of their studies with an impressive graduation fashion show.
