Week 2: Developing the Fashion Croquis: Creating Varied Poses — Students create a fashion layout of 3-4 poses.

Week 3: Design Inspiration — Using Mondrian as inspiration, students design a mini collection of swim suits.

Week 4: Design Development — Students create a coordinated mix & match grouping with denim as the featured fabric.

Week 5: Fabric Rendering — Denim, polka dots, stripes, lace, sheer, checks & plaids.

Week 6: Creating the “Professional” Fashion Presentation of their Denim Collection — Mood board, fabric, board, design board.

 

We are thrilled to welcome teacher Camille Aponte, who brings 25 years of experience in the fashion industry to TCL. In addition to her work as a fashion executive, Camille was Assistant Chair of Fashion Art in the Fashion Design Department at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Dean of the Fashion Design and Merchandising Program she created at Katharine Gibbs School in New York City.
