COURSE DESCRIPTION
To teach the advanced expressions of hand and machine sewing with a focus on the realization of toiles from the pattern making course. To develop the capacity of each student to finish original creations.
Haute Couture is a hallmark of quality in both hand and machine sewing, as well as finishing. Haute Couture requires in general a great deal of patience, attention to detail, willingness, discipline and above all regular attendance at classes.
PROGRAM

with Draping and Historical Research and Fashion Design.
Haute Couture techniques will also be explored. However, only the final draping project will
be expected to be finished using a Couture or a semi-Couture technique.

quality, done in ‘surfils petite’ at the sewing machine.
