Digital Fashion • training modules

With a non-academic approach Digital Fashion faces the pros and cons of using open source softwares in fashion. Students learn through collaboration garments digital making fundamental steps through these software (peer education).

Learning by doing is the other feature that digital fashion takes from the maker world. After digital designing their project, students lasercut first prototypes and then their finished garments. Sewing and refining are made with classic tailoring tools: needle, thread and sewing machines.

Digital Fashion is based on learning through error: error is not something bad, it is a moment of growth from which to learn how to improve the project. An important thing is that each participant of Digital Fashion brings home a prototype that he/she designed and built with digital fabrication technologies. Each student is able to reproduce the method independently, modifying and adapting it to his or her own design nature and to enrich and share it with others.
