    Reviewed by Macrae M. on 5/15/2017
    This course was not what I expected it to be. Although I did learn some interesting things, I believe it was misnamed. Instead of '8-Week Fashion Design Fundamentals' it should be called '8-Week Fashion Line Development Fundamentals.' The majority of the course was focused on trend tracking and analysis and how to incorporate that into the design of a clothing line. This was not what I was hoping for, and I found myself largely disappointed. I tried to make the best of it to learn what I could, but I would not recommend this course to anyone looking for an actual introduction to fashion design.

    Anonymous review on 5/9/2017
    "8 weeks design fundamentals " it's an ideal course for who wants to get a general idea about fashion designer's role. You learn how schedules, deliveries, fabrics and design process work. I really recommend to take this class to people who have always been passinate about fashion design and want to start getting knowledgeable about this amazing field.
