Different to traditional fashion design programmes, this course focuses on femininity and the changingfemalesilhouette, researching and questioning the impact of ‘shape-shifting’ design through masculinity vs. femininity, challenging tradition, looking at female empowerment and self-sureness and encouraging a real touch of creative flair in womenswear apparel. From an in-depth analysis of clothing manufacturing, participants study the language of couture construction versus ready to wear, progressing through all stages of the design process from fashion illustration, pattern making, pattern cutting and construction, right through to the finished garment. They are encouraged to experiment with new materials and technologies, including renewable and sustainable resources, negotiating the use of the flamboyant pairing of fabrics and experimental cutting techniques, as well as evaluating finishings, fabric embellishment, and small details that make the difference.

Are you the type who fights a feeling of confinement when you're wearing a suit during spring? While we sometimes can't avoid wearing a suit, we can switch up what we wear underneath, from lingerie to layering blouses. This makes a difference. Look for tops in chiffon or silk, and don't force yourself to wear heavy-duty shapewear come spring.
Even your suit can be lightweight. Crepe, silk, wool blends, and cotton are all options for the professional woman, and shopping around for the best suit weight will do wonders for comfort.
