Fashion technology revolutionizes the industry
Vancouver, BC - April 16, 2010 - Every modern fashion designer knows that a comprehensive fashion design computer program can help create some of the most intricate and unique design concepts. From pattern making to colour coordination and draping simulations to design specs, a computer software program takes a designer's sketches and ideas and turns them into pre-production concepts.
Once a garment is digitally rendered, the designer can change the colour, fabric, and cut until the desired design is achieved. As computer software knowledge and skill becomes increasingly crucial in the fashion business, fashion design students are required to learn how to use and master the new technology.
Digital pattern making is a critical skill to gain while in a fashion design program. Instead of creating traditional paper patterns, which do not allow the designer to customize size and fabric changes, fashion designers now rely on computer technology to create patterns. With easy-to-use tools and menus, the computer software program gives a designer the flexibility to modify the garment before finalizing a template.
As fashion design technology advances, design students will benefit from the education they receive in computer software classes. Better yet, some graduates enjoy digital pattern making so much that they choose to specialize in this field of design after entering a career in the fashion industry!
