On the course, students are introduced to design of advanced jacquard structures, such as different multi-layered and double faced structures, using various digital and analog methods. The teaching consists of lectures, demostrations, group and individual tutoring, group meetings and final critics session. Design assignment: Students design a collection of woven fabrics, which can include patterned jacquards as well as plains and textures, and realize it in weaving workshop and on industrial machine. Technical details of each fabric should be documented in product cards. The course assignment is linked to the concept designed in the Textile Collection Design, Fashion Collection Design and/or Fashion Collection project course and can be combined with the assignment of Advanced Printed Fabrics and Finishes Workshop, Advanced 3D-shaping project and/or Advanced Workshop Project.
