Textile Design Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)

Overview

 Indeed, the  Textile Design programme from Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)   involves a number of visits to sites of interest in the Como and Milan area, such as the Como Silk Museum and the Epson Textile Solutions Centre.

These amazing opportunities, combined with theory and practical training provided in the classroom, will all make for an active learning experience, serving as a source of inspiration for your own textile design projects.

Methodology

The Textile Design programme from Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED), which is organised as a typical textile design workshop, includes in-depth theory work as a basis for understanding the topic, as well as practical skills training on how to make prototypes.

Specifically, as a first step the focus will be on cultural knowledge about the history of textile design, with an in-depth analysis of the target market and technological innovations in the industry.

Next, the course will explore the basics, including creative textile research, analysis of style trends, and concept development.

Finally, the training concludes with a module that is purely design-based: based on hands-on and digital drawing techniques, it will cover how to design a real collection of drawings, from concept to final printing. 

Who is this for?

The course is aimed at new high school graduates in arts or related areas of fashion or interior design, as well as university students or postgraduate students in related fields who wish to approach or further explore the study of textile design and printing.

As a prerequisite for admission to the course, you must be proficient in Photoshop software and have a working knowledge of the English language, equivalent to a B2 level.
