The introductory short courses are practical and intensive programs, designed to quickly build student confidence in their abilities to capture design ideas as industry relevant visual presentations.

The talented design students put their skills on display to create a individual collections and collaborate them into a fantastic runway show. The range of direction was enormous- there were both mens and womenswear, cohesive feminine dresses and tops, funky, hard-edged and home-sewn looking pieces, delicate, intricately detailed, and beautifully sewn designer looking collections, and some questionables in between. Over all the work was impressive and there is no doubt that hours of work and lots of thought went into each collection. Well done.
