DIGITAL FASHION DESIGN

Dive into the frontier of fashion’s digital revolution with this immersive summer course. Whether you’re a student or industry professional, The New Real 25 will equip you with cutting-edge 3D design tools and sustainable strategies to reshape the fashion lifecycle.

The New Real 25 Summer Course is a 8-day intensive program for fashion professionals, digital creators and design students to develop their skills in digital fashion prototyping and its application. The course is designed to accommodate both beginners and advanced participants. The curriculum includes learning the basics of CLO3D and additionally some bits of Adobe Suite Applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, Substance Painter) and Blender. Practical workshops are combined with inspiring talks from industry professionals who are successfully working in this field. Participants learn skills they can later apply in this fast-growing area of digital craftsmanship. 

 

Participants will acquire immediately applicable competencies in:

• Digital pattern making and prototyping

• Import & export of patterns

• Avatar sizing and posing

• Virtual material development and texturing

• Trims and closures

• Rendering & presentation

• Efficient digital workflow optimization

 

Who is it for?

• Visionaries eager to materialize ideas through 3D simulation (Clo3D/Marvelous Designer, Blender, Substance Painter, Adobe Suite…).

• Game-changers ready to prototype "digital twins" and design the fashion companies of tomorrow (No Planet B project).

• Ecofuturists committed to merging creativity with sustainable tech.

Who Should Attend:

• Fashion professionals transitioning to digital workflows

• Design students expanding their technical skill sets

• Creative technologists exploring fashion applications

• Industry educators updating their curriculum knowledge

Maximum capacity of the course are 20 participants.

 

Outcomes:

• Master 3D garment construction and virtual storytelling.

• Redefine traditional workflows into agile, tech-driven processes.

• Showcase your work in a final presentation blending digital and physical realms.

• The programme is finalised with participants visual presentation and successful ones will obtain Certificate of Program Completion

 

Why This Program Stands Out:

Our diverse participant mix - ranging from technical developers to creative designers - creates a uniquely dynamic learning environment. Past cohorts have produced exceptional work, including:

• Advanced technical applications for performance wear

• Innovative conceptual designs pushing creative boundaries

• Business-ready digital solutions for emerging markets

The intensive format delivers remarkable results, with participants achieving professional-level outcomes in just few days. This accelerated learning model allows for both skill mastery and creative exploration.
