Fashion Technology merges creativity with technical know-how to design, produce, and market clothing and accessories. It includes:
Design: fashion illustration, color theory, textile studies, pattern making, and garment construction.
Technology: use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), manufacturing processes, and sustainable practices.
Business: branding, merchandising, marketing, and supply chain management.
Ultimately, it's about creating garments and accessories that are visually appealing, functional, and market-ready.
