Understanding fabrics is the cornerstone of fashion design, yet it’s often overlooked in favour of sketchbooks and style boards. Fabrics for Fashion Design: Essential Learning for Designers dives into the fibres, weaves, finishes, and fabric behaviour that every designer must grasp to make informed design decisions. This course gives you the knowledge to confidently choose the right material—not just what looks good, but what moves, drapes, and behaves the way your vision demands. Whether you’re sketching your next collection or refining your sense of textile harmony, this course walks you through the essential fabric types and their uses in fashion. From silks that whisper down a catwalk to cottons that breathe with intent, you’ll get a fabric-first perspective that supports stronger, more intentional design. It's fabric fluency, without the fluff—just solid, stylish know-how that sharpens your design instincts and helps you speak the language of cloth with flair.
