Fashion design at CCA is an idea-driven program that emphasizes both design concepts and skill development. Students learn the technical skills of pattern making, sewing, draping and fashion illustration, as well as visual and oral communication skills. CCA offers innovative courses, passionate teaching and vigorous design discipline. The program's goal is to graduate fashion designers of daring individuality and originality who will contribute to fashion as an aspect of modern art and culture as they participate in the global fashion industry.
