Classes at The New School 

Most of my time was spent at The New School or Parsons. I attended two classes there: fashion design and construction. Each of these classes contributed to various aspects of my project. The construction class focused on drapery and honing construction skills, emphasizing the logistical aspects of garment making. Throughout this course, I learned traditional draping techniques, enabling me to create structurally viable garments. Additionally, we explored various methods of creating flat patterns, such as paper pattern making, which allows designs to be translated onto paper for further modifications and alterations. Concurrently, while enrolled in the construction class at Parsons, I also participated in a fashion design class, where I primarily developed my final piece. Collaborating with a group of stylists during this class, we worked to shape the garment and source additional elements to enhance its final appearance.
