Uncover your individual design aesthetic and unleash your creative identity by exploring textiles in fashion and surface design and how they change the way we dress as well as the spaces around us. The course combines visits to global Scandinavian brands the likes of H&M, Filippa K, and Marimekko with readings and studies of tactility, expression, and materials and a workshop component, where you develop your own digital lookbook of individual innovative design work.

Included Exploration Trip

The Exploration Trip is an opportunity to dive into the course content in another context. You will undertake an independent or small group assignment, exploring the course material on location. These trips are more loosely structured than Study Tours, with more room built in to self-direct your learning experience and class work while on site.

This course includes a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. This trip will come at no extra cost to you, but is a mandatory part of the curriculum of this course. Travel will take place during the period of your semester known as the ‘Study Break.’
