Quick Start guide, to
get you started on the course.
A sturdily bound set of course
modules that lies flat for ease of study.
They contain detailed, practical information
that guides you skillfully towards becoming a
professional fashion designer.
10 fashion design assignments.
Your assignments will be carefully marked with personal
advice by an experienced tutor.
New! Fashion
Design Templates (right). Fashion
templates, also
known as croquis, have become popular in the fashion
industry with many designers using them. That’s
because it’s easier
and faster
to draw your designs straight on to a ready-drawn
model, rather than starting with a blank sheet of
paper.
You no longer need to spend time sketching the
fashion silhouette. Instead, you can focus on designing
your garments - the best bit! Just trace or photocopy
the templates and sketch your designs straight
over them.
