2013 Design Boot Camp Schedule

Student Design Expo

Despite the frigid temperatures, our interior students had successful day attending seminars and gathering materials for our portfolio project at the International Market Square in Minneapolis.

Interior Furnishings Study Tour

January was a great time to take a break to attend a major design marker in a warmer climate, while our state was experiencing record below zero temperatures. Along with experiencing cutting edge interior furnishings at the World Market Center, we had the opportunity to many attend seminars & presentations from leading   designers, staging stylists and trend forecasters.

Among some those design leaders and Icons we met were Alexa Hampton, President & Designer of Mark Hampton; and Christina Lemieux, DwellStudio Founder & Creative Director (as seen in photo with our group).

Children Apparel/Community Service project

Each year our fashion students study the safe construction & design in creating children’s wear. Their concepts and illustration take form into their own drafted pattern. In the spirit giving, they each produce a garment for our community service project.  We are very proud of fashion student Carrie Roske, who went beyond creating just one garment, she dedicated her time in designing and creating 10 corduroy dress/jumpers.  We are very proud of her exceptional workmanship and handwork in creating all these garments. Many of these adorable dresses are given to families at the Heartland House as well as several churches and organizations that help provide Christmas gifts and clothing for children.

Interior Students Visit Showroom

Our interior students have been touring the local furniture showrooms while expanding their knowledge and appreciation of the craftsmanship of furniture periods & styles.

Once again our Creative Director will be heading out Portland to present her S2013 collection at one of the largest west coast fashion week events.  She will be opening the Friday evening event and share the excitement with Project Runway Season 7 winner, Seth Aaron Henderson as he will close the evening with his 2013 collection.  They will “book-end” the Friday event with an impressive line-up of young designers including Joshua Christensen and Joshua Mckinley both from Season 9 Project Runway.  Each year a IDTSD student is presented an incredible opportunity to accompany her to assist with fittings, help back stage and experience in the excitement behind the scenes of a major fashion event.
