Explore the Fashion Industry and the
design process that drives it. Students develop
and master drawing and conceptual skills through
course work that involves model drawing, design
sketching, and conceptual design evelopment.
This course emphasizes general design processes
and visual skills through drawing from observation;
it does not include garment construction exercises.
Discussion of fashion history, guest speakers, and field trips to fashion
exhibitions augment the studio experience. Session II classes take place
at Parsons Fashion Design Center in midtown
Manhattan, in the heart of the fashion district.
Student visas are required and must allow for full time intensive study. Please note that Canadian citizens who wish to study full time should have an I-20 upon entry to the US. Check the ISS website for more details.
