Fashion Design

The Fashion Design workshop will give you an opportunity to explore the potential of refashioning existing garments using innovative and creative manipulation techniques. The aim is to produce a design that echoes, on trend and contemporary, embracing sustainable fashion. Using a selection of white garments, you will explore the potential of fabric and form by creative and innovative manipulation of the garments to create a new garment. You will explore the silhouette... play with inside out... upside down... the textural landscape… the changing aesthetic and the interaction of the body enveloped by the rejuvenated garment design. Expose and celebrate the construction of the design details through the exploitation of a diversity of white garments creating the new.
