The ModaPelle Academy courses teach the Italian design methodology which has contributed to the success of Italian design goods worldwide.
Creativity and fantasy are encouraged within the parameters of commercial and manufacturing requirements, resulting in design that is both innovative and appropriate for the target market.
Students acquire a solid foundation from which they can design shoes or bags with confidence and express their ideas effectively to all those involved in the design, manufacturing, sales and marketing processes.
We aim to present a complete panorama of all design, commercial and manufacturing issuesthat a designer encounters. Students complete a design project in an environment that simulates the working condition of a design studio. They prepare their collections from both the technical and aesthetic/commercial viewpoint.Most of the course is dedicated to hands on practical work in which students work on their individual collections under the constant guidance of their instructor/designer.As each student works at his own pace, we accept students from a wide variety of backgrounds and abilities.Course components include: understanding fashion, developing creativity, research methods, professional drawing techniques, computer aided illustration, brief introduction to CAD CAM, marketing, brand identity, manufacturing and technical aspects of shoe and bag construction as well as visits to leather goods manufacturers and their suppliers.The one-month bag course includes the construction of a prototype but no computer rendering (due to time restrictions).
