From the Classroom to the Catwalk
Fashion Workshops for Young People

Greenwich
11th July to 15th July 2005

London College of Fashion and Fashion Awareness Direct will be running another series of workshops for year 10 students at schools and colleges in the area of Greenwich. The workshops will cover the whole process of fashion design from initial research through to a completed product. Workshops will include visual research as inspiration, design development, printed textiles and draping on the stand. Students will learn how to construct their design, including an accessory, which will then be styled and displayed in the final day catwalk show. Students will also have the opportunity to meet different professionals involved in the Fashion Industry such as designers, stylists and hair & make up artists.

At the end of the course participants will have built a complete portfolio reflecting the work created during the course: mood boards, drawings, illustrations, photography and the constructed garment. Guidance on how to transfer these skills to application for entry into fashion and art colleges will also be given.

The workshops are ideal for students from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures seeking to find out more about the courses at fashion colleges and fashion careers in the UK.

The course is funded by Aimhigher.
