Fashion Design Program
Why is fashion important? Through fashion, we express symbolic emotions and meanings—it’s emotions, personalized identities, and power. Fashion is not just about what we wear; it’s a language, a form of self-expression that allows us to communicate who we are and how we feel without saying a word.
This course is about exploring the metaphorical colors and shapes to find our own fashion. We will delve into the psychological and cultural significance of different colors and shapes, understanding how they can be used to convey various messages and emotions in our designs.
We will embark on an intensive concentration, experiencing and practicing the creative process of a true designer. This isn’t just about learning how to sew or sketch; it’s about understanding the entire journey of a fashion piece from concept to creation. You’ll learn to think like a designer, approaching problems creatively and finding unique solutions.
Using a master-level approach, we will help you find your unique artistic tone. Here at Halona Art & Culture Center, you’ll be guided through the process of developing your own aesthetic and style, which is crucial in setting you apart in the fashion industry.
