| This qualification will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge to design and create fashion textiles and fashion garments. You will learn how to develop unique fashion products by applying new ideas, using specialised techniques and interpreting fashion trends and traditions. The Diploma of Fashion & Textile Design has a specific focus on design, with concept development and design problem-solving expertise underpinning all aspects of the program. You will also gain skills in digital design, fashion illustration, fashion knitwear, product marketing and promotion.
The diploma provides a pathway for graduates of CS85 Certificate IV Design (Fashion & Textile Design) and other equivalent courses, who, on successful completion of the diploma, can articulate into 51736 (previously 7510_CS02) Advanced Diploma of Art & Design (Fashion & Textile Design). Collectively the three qualifications represent a continuous design-focused training pathway.
Our course provides you with the opportunity to study in a multidisciplinary centre of excellence. With a reputation of being one of the most highly regarded fashion and textiles courses in Australia, our aim is to fulfil the training requirements of the fashion design industry, nationally and internationally. Our graduates take up opportunities in local, interstate and international markets for textile designers for garment and furnishing products, dress and costume designers and manufacturers, fashion magazine editors, illustrators and visualisers, retail managers and buyers, forecasters and colourists.
