OUR COURSES

The first thing to learn in any design school is measurement. Clothing manufacturers will lay out bust, waist, and hips measurements in inches or centimeters that correspond to sizes. Each brand or designer uses a different scale, so it’s best to check the measurements on which that brand bases its sizing.

clothing size refers to the label sizes used for garments sold off-the-shelf. There are a large number of standard sizing systems around the world for various garments, such as dresses, tops, skirts, and trousers. Made-to-order garments require measurements to be taken, but these do not need to be converted into national standard form.

Every would be designer needs to master the use of the sewing
machine for garment assembly. Machines come in various sizes, models and use. The proper use and maintenance of both the manual and industrial sewing machines will be taught in the beginners program.

A garment is constructed by cutting the fabric into parts according to a pattern which emulates the human form; then the different parts are joined together by sewing. When you look at your average garment, there are many steps that it went through before you saw it in a store. What is the design process? What style do you cut? What pieces consists of a single garment? how do you assemble them together? These, and many more are the question that are raised in the garment construction class. Some of the projects taught are; Female: Wedge skirt, straight gown, A-line gown, pleated skirt/gown, flared skirt/gown, Blouse, Male shirt & Trouser

In constructing garments, various techniques are engaged. Sewing is the craft of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with a needle and thread. Sewing is one of the oldest of the textile arts, arising in the Paleolithic era. Stitching techniques ranges from straight, running, basting, back stitching to hemming or neatening stiches etc.

Sustainable fashion, also called eco fashion, is a part of the growing design philosophy and trend of sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of human impact on the environment and social responsibility. It can be seen as an alternative trend against fast fashion.
The fashion industry has a clear opportunity to act differently, pursuing profit and growth while also creating new value for society and therefore for the world economy. It comes with an urgent need to place environmental, social, and ethical improvements on management’s agenda.
The goal of sustainable fashion is to increase the value of local production and products, to prolong the life cycle of materials, to increase the value of timeless garments, to reduce the amount of waste, and to reduce the harm to the environment.
It aims to educate people to practice environmentally friendly consumption by promoting the “green consumer.”
