Creating a Fashion Line: The A-Z of Collection Development

This course will cover all the basics of starting a fashion line from scratch—from inspiration to sketching to choosing textiles and trims. There’s a lot that goes into creating a cohesive collection and we’re here to get you started! This course will cover the following aspects of collection development:

You’ll gather inspiration from some of our favorite sources and create a mini-moodboard to help you start sketching your collection.

Learn the basic elements of fashion illustration using croquis. We’ll help you start sketching out your collection and teach you how to edit your ideas into a cohesive line.

·      Merchandising & Pricing

Learn how to find your target market, Hi/Lo design and pricing strategies, and how to design with target price points in mind.

·      Textiles

Learn the basics of textiles including the difference between wovens and knits and their uses, textile types and terms, prints and patterns, natural vs. synthetic, and care for various fabric types.

Intro to Patterns: Literacy, Manipulation & Drafting

In this course we cover pattern fundamentals so you have a foundation to use commercial patterns and start creating your own. You’ll learn:

·      Commercial vs. Production Patterns

How to read and use commercial patterns for your own projects and what you should expect your commercial patterns to look like if you hire a professional

You’ll learn all about grainlines, notches, seam allowances, darts, and grading

·      Introduction to Pattern Drafting: Creating your own leggings

We’ll teach you how to take measurements and draft a basic leggings sloper to your specs, and how to make adjustments after fitting.

Intro to Sewing - Wovens

Wovens are the most fundamental fabrics we work with, and there is a distinct set of skills needed to start working with them. In this course we will guide you through the industry methods of sewing a basic woven drawstring pant using sustainable, quality fashion fabrics. We’ll cover:

·      Gathers

·      Railroad zipper

·      On-seam pockets
