Summer Course: Accessories Design at IED Barcelona

  Spain

• Barcelona: 
Barcelona

Term: Summer 

Description: Accessories represent today an increasingly important dimension in the fashion world: they are fundamental elements that define personality and individual taste. They have the ability to change our physical image: a face appears different with a hat on, shoes change the way we walk, a belt transforms the shape of the body. A silk scarf gives elegance to a simple suit, a colourful tie accents a grey one.

Apart from expressing the uniqueness of a style through accessories, they have always been objects which serve a basic function. Accessories are worn as a jewel or used as a means of seduction. Others represent a symbol, a belief or a certain social prestige. Before people used clothes accessories already existed.

Accessories mirror the lifestyle of the times. This course intends to explore the world of fashion accessories from raw materials to the project, passing through cultural issues and trends. With the contribution of professionals who work every day in fashion, accessories will be designed and there will be a mini practical workshop.

Highlights: This course is the perfect solution for those who wish to combine their spare time with a stimulating and new cultural experience.
