Fashion Design Program

The FCI Fashion Design Programs prepare students for careers in the fashion industry by providing specialized training in fashion design, pattern-drafting, apparel construction and fashion drawing.

The core of the Fashion Design programs duplicate the workings of a fashion designer in a professional fashion design studio setting. The programs are instructed by professional fashion designers and educators.

The curriculums are enhanced with students creating a collection through research, concept and design, to completing their design work on the same seasonal schedule as the fashion industry. As an extra-curriculum, students may present their collections at a professionally produced fashion show attended by fashion industry professionals.
