Clothing is to people what a layer of skin is to the world. Among all design objects, clothing is perhaps the most universal and the most intimate type. The prosperity of fashion relies on a productive tension between form and function, automation and craftsmanship, standardization and customization, universality and self-expression, pragmatism and utopian vision. Fashion design and wearable technology inspire today's designers to dress in different identities to rediscover the subtle and complex relationship between human ambitions, achievements, worship, and attire for the future. Conceptual art, emerging woven materials, and technology will continually reshape our expressive context and design potential.

The theoretical part of 'DesignX Fashion Design and Wearable Technology' will start from the evolution of fashion trends, aesthetic structures, and sensory changes to help you understand the cultural construction of the body, learn how fashion alters the shape and contours of the human body, and even profoundly changes the perception of the external world’s temperature, smell, and light; in the practical part, you will learn hands-on techniques to draw a capsule collection from the future, basic bio-materials, weaving, and various forms of material patchwork techniques, machine embroidery, and understanding garment cutting and pattern-making. In the advanced stage, you will learn 3D modeling and 3D printing.
