This summer course intends to give participants a close look at the profession of clothes pattern maker, revealing the secrets, explaining the basic techniques, paving the way to further training. To really prepare yourself for this role, it takes years of study and research. This short summer course is just a small taste of the three-year Fashion Technology course, which we invite you to look at.

Clothes pattern makers are designers who develop the first prototype of a garment from the stylist's instructions. They are mainly technical figures but by working constantly alongside a stylist, they try out creative solutions that often give added value to the initial idea. They have the task of interpreting the style indications and finding technical solutions to get across the basic idea, in a process involving continual experimentation and personal initiative.

In the present day, with fashion companies working on international and global levels, pattern makers need the skill to deal with different markets, and different body shapes and sizes.

It is perhaps one of the most complex professional figures and therefore most in demand in the world of fashion. It is no coincidence that for years 100% of those completing Polimoda's Fashion Technology course have gone straight into employment.
