Fashion Design

Fashion design encompasses the planning, design, production, and marketing of clothing. Our philosophy is for the students to achieve a seamless blend of hands-on "couture" with the right balance of skill for practical application in today's fashion industry. Our program draws on the fine arts as a base and constant point of reference for inspiration. The fashion designer’s final products answer aesthetic, functional, social and psychological needs and employ traditional and advanced technological tools.

The fashion design major prepares students for professional employment in the apparel industry including careers as fashion designers, stylists, or technical designers. Graduates are also prepared to work in positions that demand creative design ability in display, computer-aided design, advertising, merchandising nd costume design. Students exhibit their collections competitively in the annual fashion show.
