Welcome To Fashion Design Camp 2013
For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 4-9
Session 1: July 1 - 12 (Fashion Design I)
Session 2: July 15 - 26 (Fashion Design Workshop)
Fashion Design I
Are you a budding fashion designer looking to have fun with color, style and pattern while also learning the skills and steps to create an exciting and marketable fashion collection? This program introduces campers to fashion processes, from trend research to a final presentation of their own collection. Campers learn how to use fun and creative software, such as Graphics-Toolbox, to design their own line. The young designers start with a library of existing sketched silhouettes and garment parts and learn to combine them to create their own styles. They choose prints, recolor them to match their customized color story, and create coordinating prints, stripes and solids to be filled into the silhouettes. Campers design a logo for a charity of their choice and receive a backpack featuring their unique design. The class culminates with each designer presenting her/his collection to the other campers. An emphasis is placed on working together as a design team and sharing ideas and suggestions throughout the design process.
Fashion Design Workshop
In this hands-on workshop, our summer “fashionistas” work on a number of fun projects designed to teach them about different fabric choices, garment construction, patterns, simple hand-sewing, and learn to use a sewing machine. Participants create their own “label” to put on their projects, and design garments and prints using Graphics-Toolbox. Projects last summer included t-shirt pillows, tote bags, doll dresses, and scarves. The campers gain additional insight into the fashion industry and have fun doing it!
Note: There is a $50 surcharge per session for additional materials and staff requirements for each fashion design specialty offered.
