Fashion

Fashion designers at DASH learn pattern making, draping, tailoring, how to work with various textiles, and how to use professional sewing equipment to produce unique and original clothing designs. They prepare mood boards, collages full of visual inspiration, before assembling their seasonal fashion lines. These students work in a well-appointed sewing lab and follow the work of major international houses to study current trends in the industry. They learn strong figure drawing skills to sketch their designs before producing them. These students are taught by an accomplished professional designer and DASH graduate Giovanna Sorondo. Seniors showcase their looks at the annual DASH fashion show. Former students have worked with Harper’s Bazaar, Telfar, Marchesa, Proenza Schouler, Cosabella, Ann Taylor, Perry Ellis, Ungaro Couture, Fendi, and Oscar de la Renta to name just a few.
