In this course, students work through the process of measuring the body, creating a flat paper pattern, mocking the draft out of muslin and fitting on a three-dimensional figure. Through both 1⁄4 scale and full-scale exercises, students will begin to understand the transition from two-dimensional patterns to three-dimensional designs.
Study Fashion Design at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. Applications open in October.
In this course, students combine pattern drafting skills and sewing abilities to create a corset using corseting techniques. From a basic block, they develop a pattern for a traditional corset that is well constructed and fitted to individual measurements. Emphasis is on developing sophisticated sewing and finishing techniques.
The corset is a unique course that is often the favourite of NBCCD Fashion Design students.
In this course, students create their senior fashion collection. The patterns are explored in 1/2 scale, then produced in full scale. Research and sampling is carried out to establish the best way to work with different types of fabrics. Students will use traditional fashion techniques to finalize their debut fashion collection.
Alumni fashion designers showcased some of their work alongside student designers at the annual New Brunswick College of Craft and Design Fashion Show.
In this course, students learn various aspects of business specifically related to the fashion industry. In addition, they research and make presentations on various aspects of the fashion industry focusing on current designers and jobs in the field. Personal promotional materials are created in preparation for the fashion event, job interviews or an application for further education.
NBCCD students have the opportunity to display their work in an exhibit once every two years, as well as the fashion show.
At NBCCD, we believe in nurturing creativity, innovation, and strong business skills, ensuring that our graduates are not just skilled artisans but also savvy entrepreneurs, ready to make their mark in the ever-evolving world of craft and design.
