Workshops Overview

①Learn 3D Approaches Using a Mini Mannequin
What is the 3D Approach?
The 3D approach refers to a creative research method known as “3D Research,” which designers use to expand their creativity.
It involves freely combining various fabrics and draping them directly on a mannequin to explore new expressions and silhouettes.
This hands-on process helps turn the images in your mind into tangible forms using fabric.

② Learn the Design Process Digitally (14:30–16:45)
In this lesson, you will learn how to express three-dimensional volume in your designs using the software CLO 3D.

SPECIAL GUESTS:

● Marina Kolarova
She has worked as a fashion designer for Marc Jacobs and currently runs her own brand in Paris called White Canvas.

● Evgeni Petkov
He is a senior lecturer at the University of Southampton and also has his own brand named Eugenio.
③ Create a Blouse Using Draping Technique

[Draping – Tops Edition]
Let’s refine your sense of aesthetics by bringing fabric to life three-dimensionally, while making the most of your own intuition!

④ Create a Skirt Using Draping Technique.
[Draping – Bottoms Edition]
By learning draping, you’ll also deepen your understanding of flat pattern drafting. Experience the ideas that unfold from a single piece of fabric!

What is Draping?
Draping is a method in which fabric is placed directly on a mannequin to visually and physically analyze volume and line.
Rather than relying on numbers or measurements, you develop an eye for beauty and balance by trusting your own sense.
This intuitive approach is one of the core methods taught at ESMOD.

Workshops Overview

① Learn the Design Approach through the “Window Technique”
What is the Window Technique?
In fashion design, the “Window Technique” is a creative brainstorming method used to generate design ideas.
By focusing on specific elements or perspectives—much like viewing through a window—designers isolate parts of a design, analyze them in detail, and reinterpret or recombine them in new ways.
This encourages a fresh and innovative approach to fashion creation.

② Create Your Own Original T-Shirt with Silk Screen Printing
In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the basic techniques of silk screen printing and print your design directly onto a T-shirt using ink.
From preparing the design to completing the print, you’ll be guided step by step—making it perfect even for beginners.
Please bring a T-shirt that you would like to use for silkscreen printing.

③ Learn the Structure of Men’s Clothing
To build a solid foundation in men’s fashion, this workshop covers the structure of garments and key points in pattern-making.
By understanding how shirts and other garments are constructed, you’ll gain insights that expand your ability to design and style original menswear.
