Today's fashion designer has to be able to think historically and reinterpret ideas from the past and predict trends in the future. Being able think economically, socially, and globally when developing his or her idea is an intergral part of the process.

The Fashion Design Program at Virginia Marti College enhances these fundamental skills by utilizing the most current technological tools and providing a solid artistic foundation.

This program is for the serious minded student interested in creating original styles from sketch through finished garment. By developing pattern drafting, couture sewing, and fitting skills, students will be able to create a wide variety of styles and silhouettes. The designers' skills evolve from basic art fundamentals to the development of a portfolio.
