About CCA's Fashion Design Program

The Fashion Design Program at California College of the Arts, chaired by Amy Williams, presents an innovative approach to a long-standing, established creative field. CCA boasts one of only 15 programs in the country to receive an invitation by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Students are taught the fundamental skills of design, conceptual development, and communication necessary to become successful professionals. The curriculum includes training in pattern making, sewing, fashion illustration, and draping; all of which are considered essential educational aspects by the fashion industry.

The degree program includes the development of a professional portfolio and participation in the Senior Fashion Show intended to provide experience and exposure for the students. Internships are also available.

Speaking of which, the 2010 Senior Fashion Show date has been set: Friday, May 7.
