Virtual Fashion Design: the new real

AMFI is unique in her education on 3D virtual prototyping and developments in high-level sustainable products and performances. We like to give you the opportunity to be part of that development and the change of paradigm in fashion by joining our two-week summer course Virtual Fashion Design: the new real

The course is conceived for advanced fashion students (bachelor or master level) and professionals.

Wiling to develop new skills to conceptualize their fashion vision and materializing through the use of high-end 3D simulation technology in fashion. You will gain insights and knowledge on the influence of 3D virtual prototyping in the Fashion industry and developments as VR/AR and AI.

One of the benefits is to create and produce in a more sustainable way, other is the challenging new design possibilities and to rethink the way you want to design, perform and produce fashion.
 

Within this course you will gain insights and knowledge on the influence of new creative technologies that is of great importance for the fashion industry. You will learn to translate ideas and vision into experiments, garment design, virtual prototypes and a final presentation of 3D simulated end products. One of the benefits is to create and produce in a more sustainable way, other is discovering new design possibilities and to rethink traditional working methods, products and representation of fashion. Sustainable thinking and acting is one of the core values of AMFI’s education and we expect student to do so by integrating this in vision development and design.

Work with challenging new design possibility’s, rethink traditional workingmethodes, and create products in 3D simulation that are of influence how fashion will be presented.

Topics to be discussed:

- What is the meaning of fashion today?

- Is Virtual fashion the new real?

- New dimension in fashion digital commerce.

- How does Virtual designing relate to sustainability? 

Topics to learn, practice and present:

How to design a garment when it will not be made in real? Working methods in CLO3d, pattern construction and alteration, sewing, closures, seams, finishings and more interesting details. Fitting garments on the avatar, create a true to life simulations in 3D with best materialization, pose and animation, to create a convincing presentation.

This course is taught by resident teachers, guest lecturers from the industry and AMFI graduates. Throughout the course, the participants will receive instructions, guidance and tutorship to work on a project individual or in small groups.
The Project will be presented and granted with a certificate at the end of the course, on the 16th of July, the results will be of interest for your portfolio.
