About Technical Design in Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)
Technical designers are in demand across the fashion industry — and have some of the highest-paying jobs — because they’re key to a company’s bottom line. They’re the linchpin between designers and patternmakers, many of whom are overseas, ensuring that garments fit and function in every size, that every design detail is correct, and industry standards are met.
We teach tech design exactly as it’s practiced in the industry, immersing you in every step of the production process, from pattern to finished garment. You’ll master current equipment and software, work with live models and 3D avatars to understand fit, and learn to incorporate technology into clothing.
