From the Classroom to the Catwalk
Fashion Workshops for Young People

Salford
27th June to 1st July 2005

Salford Aimhigher, Salford University and Fashion Awareness Direct will be running a series of workshops for year 10 students at schools in the area of Salford. The workshops will cover the whole process of fashion design from initial research through to 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 at the buile Hill Banqueting Suite. 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 higher education including Art and Fashion 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 Salford Aimhigher.
