Course Introduction

The fashion design courses at FAD International aim at training Fashion Students on both design and technical areas within Fashion. The course looks at Fashion in totality where higher emphasis is laid on developing the creative thought process and understanding the design methodology before experimenting with technical aspects of garment construction. The course allows students to realize their individuality through self research and projects apart from guided lectures and industry visits.

Taught through an integrated approach, the course at all levels helps students to connect their learning to real life industry situations. The courses also integrate learning on global fashion through the Europe study tour covering some of the fashion capitals of the world and with further support through exclusive FAD coverage of fashion events across the globe.

The students have access to state-of the art studio facilities with industry based machinery from Singer, Reece, Brother, Juki and others to support their technical learning and an internationally resourced library to support research and further learning.
