Course Title

Fashion IV

This course is designed to meet the needs of extremely skilled and motivated fashion students.  Students will design original garments and then use draping and sewing techniques to construct that garment.  Students will also create and embellish another garment.  The design and construction processes will be documented and included in the student’s portfolio.  Students will also participate in a student-produced fashion show.  Students will be responsible for fabric, notions and pattern expenses.
