Under instruction, the students are challenged to exceed their own limitations, creating new forms, an original use of materials and colour combinations. The aim is to achieve innovative creations and new interpretations of what already exists. Through research and sketching, students gather a basic insight in inspiration, form and depth; elements indispensable for progress in the process of design.

The school has furthermore taken on the challenge of constantly developing and improving contacts with industry. The staff of professional instructors are all employed in the world of fashion; either in production or with their own brands. Thus, they are constantly contributing with the latest trends whilst also creating contact between industry and students.
