Kick off your fashion design course with a foundations unit built specifically for high school classrooms. This section introduces students to what fashion design actually is, walks them step-by-step through the professional fashion design process, and teaches the symbols and visual language designers use to communicate ideas quickly and clearly.
 
Students leave this unit able to explain the stages a garment moves through from concept to rack, and they'll be able to read and use the shorthand symbols real designers use on croquis and spec sheets — a skill that pays off in every later unit.
