ADVANCED FASHION - HONORS 

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is intended for highly motivated students, committed to serious study of fashion design and construction.  Advanced placement curriculum involves a significant amount of work, done independently.  Students will produce a pants sloper, then design and construct an original pair of  pants.  The teacher and student will confer, to decide on an appropriate project, which will include computer design applications.  The design and construction processes will be documented and included in the student’s portfolio.  Students will have a significant role in the production of, and participation in a fashion show.  Students will be responsible for fabric, notions and pattern expenses.
