Final Project
The final project represents the core of the program’s applied education. Through this project, participants work with a real design brief and learn how to manage the design process professionally.
Participants create moodboards, sketchbooks, and line-ups, conduct fabric research, produce a prototype garment using muslin fabric, and experience the process of resolving pattern-related issues.
Final Collection & Portfolio
Participants independently develop and realize designs based on their chosen sources of inspiration, transforming them into a final portfolio. At the end of the program, projects and final collections produced during the training period are evaluated by instructors.
