Beschreibung
Experimentation and creativity are the driving forces behind Performance Sportswear Design at Falmouth. Established in response to industry needs, this course offers an opportunity to develop your intellectual, technical and creative skills, enabling you to design cutting-edge apparel that's practical, functional and aesthetically pleasing, so you can create wearable designs that will make a mark in this progressive and exciting industry.
You'll experiment with the latest fabrics and construction methods and, using both hand drawing and digital technology, develop designs that meet the needs of this most demanding of sectors. You'll also incorporate the practical requirements and necessary functions of clothing dictated by different sports into your designs. At the same time, you'll study fashion, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and branding so that your designs are stylish, practical and marketable.
Learning by doing, you'll design a range of performance sportswear as well as associated clothing - like drysuits, wetsuits, thermal garments and base and insulating layers. You'll also experiment with the latest fabrics - neoprene, Polartec and polypropylene as well as construction methods like glued, blind and stitched seams. At Falmouth, we'll teach you how to create practical and stylish sportswear that people want to wear.
First Year Fashion Design student project work We invite visiting speakers from leading design companies as well as sports personalities to take part in our lecture programme. And we don't just bring principal designers to the College - we also visit them. You'll go on self-funded study trips to manufacturers and visit design fairs, as well as have the opportunity to work on live briefs and carry out work placements with recognised regional, national and international brands such as Decathlon, Finisterre and Gul International.
Essentially, you'll see and experience how a variety of different design companies operate, explore the latest technology, have access to current industry debates and compare different approaches to design. You'll also benefit from our external links with sports academies and the local marine leisure industry.
At Falmouth, we want you to get out there and experiment, take risks and find your own path through practical and professional experience to gain a thorough insight into the industry.
