Fashion Foundry provides business support for fashion designers in Scotland.

On the Grid

Last month, Fashion Foundry landed in Lagos, Nigeria to begin the first two-weeks of the Nigerian Creative Enterprise Support Programme (NICE) alongside partners @assemblyofficial supported by @ngbritisharts - Each day the @assemblyofficial consultants delivered inspiring and motivational business masterclasses, and the Fashion Foundry team took the designers back to basics: @fatherplantlament sharing draping and pattern cutting techniques, @ruthesmemitchell guiding the designers through research and moodboarding, @ciorstaidhmonk looking at figure drawing and fashion illustration, @frau.bon taking them through rapid prototyping and @robertccnewman teaching technical drawing using illustrator. - Tomorrow, we continue working with the designers, all the way from Scotland by providing remote mentoring over the next few weeks. - Follow each of their journeys through @assemblyofficial ‘s fab insta coverage!
