Program description
Everyday clothing items and their accessories are part of our lives, and the ARUCAD Textile and Fashion Design Department trains its designers to be completely prepared to tackle the technical stages of the field. The fundamentals of apparel and accessories, the fabric and its surface, and the different elements that accentuate our appearance will all become more familiar to designers. The relationship between concept, collection, and style will be clearly understood by designers, who will also actively participate in the whole fashion design process.
Graduates of the textile and fashion design department can find employment in design studios, fashion houses, fashion agencies, clothing companies of all sizes, textile and weaving studios, production and research and development departments, textile and fashion houses, individual enterprises, and their own businesses. Moreover, graduates will have the ability to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.
