Introduction

Understanding the individual properties of fabrics is a core component of any aspiring fashion designers’ learning journey. The Textile Technology Training Module will help participants experiment with a variety of techniques leading them to acquire a basic knowledge of materials used for garment construction.

This training module is part of the Fashion Studio 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.
