FIRST-YEAR STUDIO

AVANT-GARDE MODELS

Fashion and textile design students spend their first year mastering the fundamentals: color, line and form. For their final fall semester project in first-year studio, students create avantgarde garments in half scale. Designers had to incorporate 10 different shapes, as well as surface design and texture elements, into their final product.

CIRCLE SKIRTS

For the color project, students create surface designs based on a photograph of their choosing. The designs, which must center around the interaction between colors, are then translated to a 3D design software called Clo to simulate how the pattern would look on a draped circle skirt.

LINE PROJECT

For the line project, students develop a portfolio of 25 pieces. Five subjects are each drawn or painted in five different styles of art.

FTD 419 ATHLEISURE COLLECTIONS

Seniors in fashion design use a family or friend as inspiration for their target market to design a line of athleisure incorporating computer-aided design software. Each collection had to include laser cutting, natural dyeing and one other technique that was new to the designers.

COUTURE INDEPENDENT STUDY

This dress is the final project from Natalia’s independent couture and surface design course. “This piece takes inspiration from elements of Ukrainian folkwear, and was named after my Ukrainian birth mother, Nelya,” Barnack writes of her project, which incorporated 20 hours of hand beading.

TEXTILE DESIGN

FTD 201 PRINT PROJECT

For this project, sophomore fashion and textile design students learn about color perception and reduction, develop color palettes and explore repeats and motifs. They apply this knowledge to design a digital print collection using computer-aided design (CAD) software. They then develop textile samples and use texture mapping to show how they would be applied as products.

FTD 200 KNITTING PROJECT

For this assignment, students take into consideration sourcing and technical logistics in order to create digital knit print patterns. They present their samples and design process for a critique.

FTD 201 WEAVING PROJECT

In addition to learning print and knit design, students in FTD 201 are also exposed to jacquard weaving. For this project, students complete simulation workshops on technical logistics, the effect of filling color and presentation techniques. Using this information, students design digital weaving patterns that are then woven by the college’s Jacquard loom.

FTD 375

In this class, textile design students learn about color, texture and structure in woven fabrics and weave three sets of samples as well as a final project. They also begin to learn about computerintegrated design for woven products.

FASHION DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

FTM 315: FASHION PRODUCT DESIGN

For the final project in this class, teams of students developed inclusive and adaptive looks for demographics with differing abilities. Anna Davis and Natalie Sparks specifically designed for women with limited mobility due to prosthesis using velcro closures, easy length modification for the skirt and loose sleeves.

HEMPSMITH FASHION SHOW

This six-look collaborative collection made its debut during a fashion show hosted by Hempsmith, an alumni-owned business in Pittsboro, North Carolina. The purpose of the show was to promote slow fashion, so the designers developed the entire collection using locally sourced second-hand materials and scraps. The result is a patchwork-heavy collection that blends the two designers’ differing aesthetics.
