Our goal is to educate an independent and competent fashion designer who can manage every detail of a collection, while also possessing broad general knowledge and strong artistic skills.

Core subjects include: Fashion Design, Garment Construction, Clothing Technology, Jewellery Design, Headwear and Accessories Design, Footwear Design, Fashion Illustration, Fashion Photography, Textile Design and Material Studies, Fashion Styling and Fashion Trends.

SAPU students also participate in fine arts classes such as drawing, painting and composition. Lectures cover the fields of art history, fashion history, and fashion marketing. In the computer lab, students learn to use graphic design software like CorelDraw and Adobe Photoshop, as well as InvenTex, a specialized program for garment construction, all of which are essential tools in modern fashion design.
