Bachelor of Arts - Fashion Design (Co-op)
About Bachelor of Arts - Fashion Design (Co-op)
The fashion design major prepares students for positions in the fashion industry related to the role of an assistant designer.
Students in fashion design participate in an annual juried fashion show, Portfolio in Motion, featuring garments they have designed and constructed. Opportunities to cultivate professional skills are developed through participation in the Marymount Fashion Club; affiliations with the Fashion Group International of Greater Washington, DC, Inc.; and internships.
Students are prepared to work for apparel manufacturers or in departments of product development. Seniors produce an original line of fashions and a portfolio, and complete an internship with a cooperating employer. The program culminates in a noted designer’s professional evaluation of the student’s original designs.
Upon successful completion of the fashion design program, students will be able to:
- create garments worthy of acceptance to Marymount’s prestigious fashion show that are of appropriate quality, function, and aesthetics;
- design an aesthetically pleasing and functional line of apparel that is appropriate for a target market and visually expressed in a portfolio for entry into the industry;
- make technical drawings of apparel (flats and specs), fashion illustrations, and fashion presentations; and
- demonstrate competency in design research and its application to design problems.
