The fashion show was produced by the CT-101 Principles of Clothing Selection class and all the planning, decorations, organization, door prizes and coordination were provided by the students as well. A lot of the designs made by the students are created to reflect the industry. The models were students in the program as well, and featured their designs to include apparel for business, formal gatherings, casual daywear, and even just relaxed attire.
Some of the classes that are apart of the fashion design program are CT-101 Principles of Clothing Selection, CT-050 Sewing Basics, CT-110 Clothing Construction I: Fundamentals, CT-115 Speed Tailoring, CT-141 Tailoring, CT-242 Pattern Making by Flat Pattern, and CT-243 Draping for Fashion Design (Independent Study). All courses are specifically designed with new content, skills, equipment, and demonstrations.
The fashion design program courses are changing a little in the upcoming fall semester. With the conclusion of the fashion show the new and improved Clothing and Textiles-Fashion Design Certificate Program was announced for students interested in fashion or fashion majors. The fashion show was a good way to show off what students can be looking forward to learning in the courses.
AVC is the only community college in this area that offers a fashion design program.
