In this intensive postgraduate you’ll learn what goes into wedding dress design, and put what you’ve learned into practice. The program combines specialised technical classes on theory with practical workshops and company visits, in a multicultural context. There’s no better way to put your newfound knowledge to the test than by working on real projects with companies in different sectors.
What’s more, you’ll finish the program with a final project in collaboration with companies leading the field, presenting your concept collection and the sketched designs you’ve developed.
