Turn Your Passion into a Career in Fashion

Browse our fashion courses and find out how you can explore your creativity for fashion design in our state-of-the-art studios.

You will create digital fashion designs powered by iMacs to take your fashion forward. From simple sews to elaborate handmade details, we will teach you Canadian smocking, draping dress techniques, how to manipulate fabric to express your culture, and how to upcycle decorated accessories to let your personal style develop through your final major collections.

From Moodboards to Major Collections

You can take your colour scheme moodboards to the next level in the studio to create sustainable & stylish designs, or tulle creations for your bridal collection.

Westwood, McQueen or backstage at Chanel Haute Couture runway, you’re never short on fashion inspiration. We will take you on visits to textile factories and fashion museums to see the whole process from start to finish, so you’ll learn about the fashion industry from design and styling to marketing and beyond.
