Course

The KWANDAHUB seasonal course in Fashion Design is now a pan- African star program, fulfilling the dream of entering the world of fashion and handing out the keys of its main language.

It is the personal expression of an enthusiastic creator who can think up an idea and transform it into a wearable cult piece wanted by those desiring different. If you are looking for a shortcut that will allow you to enter the behind-the-scenes world of the fashion panorama, this could be your first step.

This program perfectly introduces the words contained in its title, Fashion and Design, into two main areas. The first area is based on research practices —a full immersion to acquire cultural and technical skills— while the second is practice-driven and aims to realize and present an impressive capsule collection.

This intensive portfolio development program is run by teachers from the industry and special guests, granting unlimited access to MOSHIONS Design lab, Kwanda Season photography studio and the Kwanda Hub library. It also includes a starting toolkit and internship opportunities. The two main projects —the first involving the research of figurines and the second transforming those figurines into a capsule collection— can be presented as a high-quality personal portfolio.

The course includes a total of 9 weeks of instructional activities and grants 12 MOSHIONS (12 creative steps toolkit credits with certification by M creations Africa in partnership with INSTITUT FRANÇAIS du Rwanda.

This course is completed with the possibility of an internship in a fashion company/ job application portfolio/ higher education applications/ #MOSHIONSTOTHEWORLD links
