  • When fashion really hits the street!
    Central Saint Martins College Of Art And Design
    Dayo, December 2006
    Overall rating *****
    Course content *****
    My course was a 5 weeks (Saturdays) short course in Sports and Street Design at the Central Saint Martins Lane College of Fashion. I was actually going to enrol for a different course in fashion at the college, but after reading the information on the course I decided this would be the ideal course for me, as I wanted to start my own fashion label. I was the only man on the course amongst eight women plus the lecturer but I was really made to feel at home by everyone. The first class was great; we had a brief history of Fashion by the lecturer Lynette, who was great and very inspiring throughout the course. The second week, Lynette took us all to a 60?s fashion exhibition at the Royal Albert Museum in South Kensington and after to Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill to look at current street fashion trends and identify our potential customers. We took pictures of people with their permission and used them to develop our trend boards with a profile of our targeted customer. It was the nature of this creativity and practical application of the course that really made me enjoy it. I learnt so many things about fashion that I would have never learnt before, I went to Portobello Market, which I had never been to before and my fellow students were great to work and study with. Lynnette was brilliant and used her knowledge and wealth of experience in the Fashion Industry to give me brilliant ideas about creating my fashion label. I finished the course with all these great ideas, the wonderful experience of the places I went to and with as a certificate of attendance. I intend to do another course there in January 2007 in ?How to start your Fashion Business?, which will also be run by Lynnette. So I can now confidently say that I do have some ?Street Fashion? sense and I am really looking forward to starting my fashion label!

    Brilliant course! I'd never made any hats before and finished the course with three amazing, Ascot-worthy creations. Ian, the tutor, is lovely, very patient and has made hats for the Queen and Madonna. Well worth doing, everyone on the course produced at least two hats.

  • Exceptional teaching in a beautiful location
    Northern College Of Costume
    Liz, February 2007
    Overall rating *****
    Course content *****
    I have not done the kimono course but the three month costume construction course given by the same institution. Not only was the teaching clear, practical and enthusiastic but it is a beautiful location to learn in. I was taught by many trained professionals who have worked in a variety of areas of costume. It is a relaxed and friendly environment despite the full time training you would have thought would be stressful During my time there I completed three costume projects from three different periods, visited local and national textile suppliers, museums and was taught detailed dressmaking skills. I had a wonderful three months, met some fantastic people, made beautiful things and am now working as a costumier.

  • On like that!
    Hammersmith And Fulham Adult Learning And Skills Service

    Overall rating *****
    Course content *****
    3 week course in which you turn up with a bag of material and leave with an actual skirt! Brilliant pre-course prep and consultation really thorough. They gave assistance throughout and i have been altering pattens and churning out skirts to the envy of all my friends, having had no previous experience before. Well worth the 3 weeks and a bargain price!

    Course content *****
    I thought i was useless at any craft skills but the unfailing patience, skill and imagination of my teacher changed my perspective - I started from basic knitting stitch and after one year I am now able to knit full garments! For christmas I gave my husband a handmade knitted waistcoat and it is all thanks to my teacher and the knitting course.

    This course covers all aspects of fashion. More creative than most fashion courses. Good location but limited parking (unless you get here really early!). Yummy places to eat in college and surrounding area. Modern building and good resources--excellent library.

  • The courses have moved
    Kirklees College
    sharon, April 2007
    Overall rating *****
    Course content *****
    All the millinery courses and the creative skills courses were excellent with a high level of teaching and lots of encouraging fellow students. Sadly due to the change in government funding the courses are no longer at the Tech but are about to be set up at The Textile Centre of Excellence in Huddersfield under the name Creative Skills.
