The Runway The Advanced Study Program culminates in DEBUT, a runway show where graduating students show their collections.

FASHION DESIGN ADVANCED STUDY

The Advanced Study Program in Fashion Design develops specialized expertise in the student's individual area of study. The curriculum is structured to provide the opportunity to explore and analyze new ideas, and study industry related principles of design and construction as well as to apply industry techniques.

What Our Students Learn In our program, students learn the skills needed to conceptualize, create, and present an entire fashion collection on the runway.

Why FIDM This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work closely with dedicated instructors in a special studio space to create a collection based on personal aesthetic choices.
