Department of Fashion Trends

Introduction

There are 2 classes in each grade of this course, which focuses on basic education related to the clothing industry. We place a strong emphasis on enhancing the quality of students’ talents as they pertain to the clothing industry. In addition to helping students obtain certificates in various skills, we also actively guide students to further their studies so that they can pursue an advanced career. With respect to learning and research, our courses integrate tradition and innovation with theme-based teaching. As such, we are committed to the sustainable management and development of traditional skills and local culture. This involves making good use of local cultures to teach students about dyeing and weaving. We also integrate art and humanistic aesthetics into our courses. By nurturing students’ sense of art and beauty, we aim to cultivate high-quality and creative students.
