Dress the Drawing: Inside the FOOL clothing design process

Join fashion designer Pep Doolan for an inside look at the FOOL clothing design process. Discover Pep’s approach to design and learn how to apply these ideas to your own garment concept. Perfect for anyone interested in fashion design.  

Through a behind-the-scenes presentation of Pep’s work, you’ll discover how ideas develop from two-dimensional artwork into three-dimensional garments, gaining insight into the creative decisions that shape a finished design. 

You’ll then develop your own garment silhouette and layer your artwork and selected fabrics onto it through collage. You’ll experiment with print placement and composition, considering the question: Does the artwork change when someone wears it?  

No previous experience is required and all materials are provided. 

Skill level: No experience necessary. Ages 18+
