Overview

Students produce original designs and develop unique collections during their fashion studies in categories such as womenswear, menswear, swimwear, knitwear, activewear, tailoring and couture techniques. Students also have the opportunity to explore additional design categories such as shoes, lingerie, fashion sustainability, millinery and denim.

Fundamental skill areas include new approaches to the study of textiles, including a class on treatments, embellishments, laser cutting, silk-screen printing, knitting, dying, fabric printing and embroidery.

Fashion Study Collection

Students of the Fashion Design program from Woodbury University have access to the Fashion Study Collection. They can choose objects based on construction techniques, designer attribution or by chronology. Examples chosen vary and can include eighteenth century textiles, footwear, couture beading samples and knitwear. As any professor or student will tell you, nothing quite compares with being able to examine an object first-hand. It is one thing to view an image of a Paris couture gown, it is an entirely different experience to personally look at its construction details!

The collection boasts film costumes from such luminaries as Edith Head and Adrian. Indeed, Hollywood designers have long been associated with Woodbury: Howard Greer was instrumental in creating the first professional costume design training program offered by Woodbury in 1931, and William Travilla, famous for his Marilyn Monroe designs, was a Woodbury graduate. Notable fashion designers represented include Bonnie Cashin, Andre Courreges, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior, Mariano Fortuny, James Galanos, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rudi Gernreich, Issey Miyake, Norman Norell, Yves Saint Laurent, Arnold Scaasi, Elsa Schiaparelli and Yohji Yamamoto.
