Service Description
This 14-week unit is designed for designers who already know the basics — and are ready to go further. It’s an advanced formation for those who want to invent rather than imitate. Through experimental pattern-making, you’ll move beyond construction as technique into construction as language — combining precision craftsmanship with speculative design and digital exploration. Why Join The LIGNES DE FUITE System is not a school. It’s a working structure for designers who want to accelerate their evolution, expand their technical vocabulary, and operate inside a real creative ecosystem. Here, learning happens through production, visibility, and reputation. You’ll work alongside professionals, show your results publicly, and become part of a community shaping the next chapter of Canadian fashion.
