FashionLab Careers is for the students who are looking to further their knowledge within fashion and push themselves into potentially incorporating fashion and the arts into their further education.

You will be working with Caroline Gration (Director) and Sarah Garfield on industry projects, sustainability awareness, upcycling, experimental design, advanced sewing and pattern cutting techniques. Lessons are taught through alternating online classes, 1 to 1 tutorials and small in-person sewing and techniques classes. Students will be expected to do more independent work outside of their class.

Sustainability is an area that is close to all of our hearts at The Fashion School, so as with previous terms, students will continue to learn about the importance of both a sustainable and responsible approach to fashion. This is aided by the amazing array of deadstock donated designer fabrics that are available to each student to bring their designs to life. Chopova Lowena, Preen, Brogger and Markus Lupfer are a few of the exciting London based designers that have donated their past season fabrics for the students to work with. Each student will finish the term with a unique handmade garment that will demonstrate everything they have learned over the term.

As part of the FashionLab Careers class, students will be expected to complete approximately 1.5 hours of homework each week.

We will help them develop skills in:
Sustainable design awareness
Research
Design awareness
Communication
Illustration/drawing
Mood boards
Pattern cutting

Fabric knowledge
Pinning, measuring and cutting
Machine and hand sewing
Specialist sewing skills

Sewing techniques.
How to upcycle and repair fashion you already have.

What we provide:

The use of new and fully serviced Janome 725s sewing machines, scissors, tools and threads etc.
Students can use free donated fabrics as part of our Circularity Bank, bring in their own or buy from our fabric shop.
