introduction and course objectives
It is a well-established fact that most great fashion designers have found inspiration in Historical Costume. It is essential as a fashion designer to have a good working knowledge of Costume History. If a designer has the understanding of what has been worn historically and why garments were developed in that manner from a sociological and cultural perspective, this is a great reflective tool enabling the designer to “see the future”. Importantly as an inspirational source to creatively explore period costume structure and form, construction techniques, fit and body shape and experiment with the decorative arts of embellishments, print and embroidery. The richness and diversity of historical costume and dress are an inexhaustible resource that inspires developments, experimentations and can be applied to all genres of collections and markets. The most important international designers of our time are famous for utilising costume influences within their collections. Likewise it is fair to note that when working in Costume the knowledge and skills obtained form having a deep understanding of the Fashion Design process, trends and new technologies regarding both fabrics and construction techniques enhances the design possibilities and proposed outcomes. The structure of the educational path promotes continuous exciting interaction between specific techniques and skills in the fields of both Fashion and Costume, guaranteeing the student an adequate education in culture, style and design within the areas of Costume, Fashion and Accessories. This Degree aims to train professional figures capable of meeting the current needs of companies in both the fashion industry and costume design for theatre, TV and cinema productions: research, experimentation, design, planning and product. The course provides students with a complete education program, which enables them to obtain a good standard of professional competence and technical knowledge.
