Abstract
This project explores the application of Clo3d software as a transformative educational tool in couture fashion design instruction. Despite couture's rich tradition of meticulous craftsmanship and personalized design, its teaching methodologies have yet to fully leverage digital advancements. This project examines the integration of Clo3d into the apparel design program curriculum, specifically focusing on the undergraduate course Digital Apparel Design at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, this project aims to determine how digital tools like Clo3d can enhance the learning outcomes of fashion design students by providing a more interactive and comprehensive design experience. Initial findings suggest that while the software presents a learning curve, it contributes to students' design skills and creative expression. This software facilitates the effective teaching of complex couture techniques and stimulates student creativity and readiness for the modern demands of the fashion industry.
