Are you thinking about studying Fashion Design but you don’t know whether this is the right choice? Why don’t you enrol in NABA “Introduction to Fashion Design” course (from June 29th to July 10th)?

Using global influences and trends as a starting point, this course introduces fashion to beginners by showing them how to use a theme to produce and present work that will prepare them for further studies in the fashion field. Art, crafts, culture and lifestyles from different ethnicities worldwide (Africa! India!) will be the ingredients  to put together and shake up to create a small collection of coordinated clothes.

Talks will be given during the course on Italy’s fashion system and on art related to the project. Students will also be sent to the best fashion zones in Milan and given lists of places to go and see out of lesson times.
