Think fashion is only about great designs? Think again. Producing great designers is only part of the fashion design program at the University of Delaware. In addition to becoming proficient in conceptualization, drawing and rendering, flat pattern development, draping and product development, students explore and address the challenges in the dynamic fashion industry.
Fashion design students develop an understanding of the complexities of the industry and responses necessary to build a more sustainable model. Computer-aided design, portfolio development, textiles, and fashion history courses enable our students to have a holistic understanding of the past, present and future needs of the fashion design industry.
