Our excellent 1 year intensive program “Fashion Design & Pattern Making” is tailored to students who want to explore the world of fashion, and learn real craftsmanship skills at the same time.

The students discover the bases of a profession, the world of fashion, and the process of Creation. They become familiar with basic womenswear in Fashion Design and Pattern Drafting. The students learn how to design garments within the structure of a collection, and to adapt them to the reality and the pace of the trade. They discover the various sectors within the Textile-Apparel industry, including street wear, sports wear and basic casual tailored and dedicate themselves to a personal project.

This program is divided equally between Design and Pattern Making two distinct skill sets known in France as Stylisme (Fashion Design) and Modelisme (Pattern Drafting). Stylisme involves the creative design aspect while Modelisme translates that vision into a constructed garment through draping, cutting and sewing. The combination of these disciplines is what gives ESMOD’s methodology its added value and gives its graduates their unparalleled expertise: technical and creative.

The year ends with an Exam to validate the year in all subjects and students present their personal Exam Project to a Jury of ESMOD Jakarta faculty. While in Fashion Design and Pattern Drafting, the students develop a Capsule collection to express their personal brand development and two looks are presented on personal models during a Jury day with professional Jury from the Fashion field.

After 1 year, the student will know what ties the fashion industry together. And where one’s place will be. The student can decide whether to continue at ESMOD Jakarta and enroll in the 2nd year program and deepen one’s exploration or with the newly acquired skill-set and certification, take on the world in one’s own fashion path.
