Introduction

The Foundation of Fashion Training Module is an entry level package of lessons providing a perspective on the creative process of a fashion design. Participants will learn how to present their collections through mood boards that integrate colour palettes, technical drawings and illustrations.

This training module is part of the Fashion Studio Short Course and the Fashion Luxury Business Short Course.

The online program takes place live and in real-time (Paris or Istanbul local time) and you will interact with the lecturer and other students through our online platform. However, if you cannot attend or miss a live class, every session is also recorded and saved, so you can go back and watch it at a later suitable time for you.
