How to introduce & teach Digital Fashion Pro Design Method at your school:

Digital Fashion Pro can be implemented into your school’s fashion design or art program. We have seen Digital Fashion Pro brought into various schools on our client list by IT teachers, fashion related teachers, art teachers, and home economics teachers. Here is the basic from purchase to implementation process works:

1. We do not offer site licenses. Each computer would need it’s own copy of Digital Fashion Pro and components.

2. The training portion of Digital Fashion Pro does not automatically install on the computer. The CD must be present in the computer to watch how to work the system. What we recommend is that the teacher is the only one with access to the learning tools of Digital Fashion Pro. Therefore, the teacher will be able to teach the Digital Fashion Pro method to the class while at the same time incorporating traditional design methods & curriculum into the teachings to help students excel even more.

3. Digital Fashion Pro will be perfect to implement into your school’s fashion design or art curriculum because with Digital Fashion Pro - students still have to do traditional design work and bring fourth their creative skills. Digital Fashion Pro makes the starting point easy by starting off a template and fabrics but the rest of the process of putting designs together is just like traditional fashion design. The program is a true art program and not a click this and that together kind of program. Students still have to exhibit design skills to create. The beauty is Digital Fashion Pro will help students expound on their creativity. The system also prepares them for our digital world of today and tomorrow. Possible lessons could even include students working together in teams to build teamwork skills on various projects.

We make it easy to make a seamless integration of Digital Fashion Pro into your overall fashion design or art structure. The other option at your choice is to make the learning tools available to the students but still let the teacher expand on the tools. It’s totally up to your institution how you go about implementation. We would love to add your academic institution to our growing list of academic clients from all over the world! With Digital Fashion Pro - Go Cutting Edge Digital and deliver industry approved fashion sketches. You can also add our 3 Book How to start a clothing line course to your fashion curriculum to teach students how to start their own clothing business after school. The Course can be taught and we sure your students will find it very valuable.

“The software has been a big hit and we continue to use it with girls groups to introduce them to technology in a fun way. I work with the Girl Scouts, 4-H groups, Consumer Science classes in the schools, and this summer a teen reading program at a local library that is focusing on Creativity. It really has been a big success.

We recently just had our annual event called Girls Gone Tech Day. We had 2 groups with over 60 middle school girls in one group and over 40 in the high school girl group for these events. We had them in on two separate days. During this event as well as during our regular events throughout the year we let the girls work with the software, and have them engage in activities where they start their own mock clothing lines. We also have it where young women from the college teach the software to the girls when they come in for the programs as well.

Thank you for all of your help with getting the software available for our use. It really has worked out very well.

Thanks again.

The Official Step-by-Step Guide to Starting a Clothing Line is a comprehensive handbook for fashion entrepreneurs, and having the inside track from two successful designers who started from the ground floor is absolutely inspiring!”
