This introductory session is designed to introduce you to the course, Canvas, and your live sessions. You'll learn how to use specific Canvas features that will help you complete this course, schedule and session details for your live sessions, and what it takes to earn your certificate of completion. The information in this session is also covered in the introduction module of your course so you can review the content on your own if you're not able to join the live walk through.
Guest speakers: Mike Fakih and Virginie Grillet
Learn about undergraduate and graduate programs available at Parsons Paris, the admission process, and how to prepare for internships and jobs in the fashion industry. This session features representatives from Career Services and Enrollment and Admission at Parsons Paris who are ready to provide their unique insights and answer any questions.
Draping is a liberating process that helps you understand the three-dimensional properties of fabric and create original designs that transcend the typical skirt or shirt. The drape does not represent the final garment; it allows you to imagine the garment. In this live session, we teach you to use images of drapes in the design of innovative garments.
Guest speaker: Eros Antoniadis
How can you create inclusive collections? Simply including larger sizes, as was often done in the past, does not make collections fully inclusive. Join Inside Fashion Design faculty member Eros Antoniadis and learn how designers can make their collections appeal to people of all genders and body types through structuring and choice of materials.
Whatever their background, every fashion designer draws inspiration from the world around them. In this live interactive session, you draw from images you've collected from the Internet or everyday life to create your own sketches and interpretations of potential designs. The techniques you master in this session will prove helpful to you in completing module assignments 3 and 4 and your final project.
Guest speaker: Eros Antoniadis
Overproduction is a problem in the fashion industry at all levels, from fast fashion to middle market brands to luxury. In this session, Eros Antoniadis shows you how dead stock (raw materials and finished garments) can be upcycled to create something new.
This year, New York Fashion Week was presented in a mostly virtual format, demonstrating that digital platforms are the future of the fashion industry. In this session, we explore designing in a digital age. We talk about the impact of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and the role of designers, decisions made in creating a virtual collection (such as choosing digital fabrics), and what the future holds for designers in this new landscape.
