Where to study to be a designer, fashion designer, couturier in Ukraine

You can study the profession of "fashion design", "fashion designer" in Ukraine, both in higher educational institutions and secondary specialized - colleges. You can also learn to sew and design on courses, but if you choose courses, it is better to have a longer course of study, not a month or two, but a year and a half. So the courses, for example, can be taken at the Design Institute under the Society of Designers of Ukraine (Kiev, Petropavlovska St., 34).

V colleges In Ukraine, you can get the profession of "seamstress", "tailor", "cutter". At the same time, it is worth knowing that the seamstress is the lower step, the tailor is higher. So tailors, unlike seamstresses, in small firms can be entrusted with performing the functions of cutters (he is engaged in cutting the material), and even a fashion designer.

Examples of colleges:

They enter colleges after the 9th or 11th grade, receiving secondary specialized education. College education is both budgetary and paid.

In general, the problems of Ukrainian design in the field of fashion are the same as in Russia and in Belarus: in the past, this area was not strong, in the Soviet Union, light industry was inferior to heavy and military, and if in the field of exact sciences - physics, and so on. The Soviet Union was strong, but fashion design was never in the foreground, both himself and his training. In fact, in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, the fashion sphere, the fashion industry is just being formed, is at the initial stage of its development, and the corresponding design schools, equal to the western ones, also do not yet exist.The emphasis is more on technology, gradually switching to creativity, and designers are not taught to sell, advertise, and promote their brand.
