Fashion. You read all the magazines, watch all the shows. You know who’s showing in Milan, who’s on in Paris. Your instinct for style goes beyond collections. You know the difference between Pucci, Prada and Prêt-à-Porter. The Academy of Design’s Fashion Design program can show you how to take your passion for fashion and combine it with industry-ready skills to lead you straight into the exciting career of your dreams.

At the Academy, our instructors are not just experts in the field of fashion design, but also currently work in the field, bringing real-world knowledge, insight and contacts to your education.

The Academy’s Fashion Design program is an intensive 18-month course of study aimed at preparing graduates for careers in the design and creation of fashion. You will be introduced to the development and construction of apparel, fundamentals of design, and sourcing and use of textiles. You will develop hands-on skills and knowledge of industry-standard computer applications and machines through a series of creative design projects. Later, these projects may be taken to the job-market as part of your professional portfolio.
