This course is open to all students however a basic knowledge of fashion design and garment construction is advisable to get the best results from the course.
Those with more experience will be given more independence to follow a more personal design path, assuming a greater level of self-sufficiency. Students are expected to have some experience of research and sketching, and some basic experience in sewing.
This course covers the full experience of a working menswear designer - covering research, subject knowledge and context, to design development. It then goes on to teach you the essentials of garments construction, based on a basic piece. The focus is looking at menswear as a “product’ rather than high-end fashion.
In order to achieve a 3D final outcome, together with 2D portfolio work, students are expected to be focused, self-sufficient and hard working. Students are encouraged to take initiative, to work independently, and to be willing to learn fast. A basic ‘block’ shape / pattern will be followed by the whole class, but there will be plenty of scope for individual students to personalise their own garment. Garment construction help will be provided and students are expected to work independently to follow the design brief of the module. Tutors and technicians from BA Fashion Design Menswear plus relevant visits and industry guest lecturers will provide an authentic and intensive experience of fashion design menswear at Central Saint Martins.
