New cohort for 3D design training – Spring 2026

Revisit creation in fashion and clothing

This training will enable professionals in the fashion and clothing sector to familiarize themselves with digital technologies, particularly CLO software, which facilitates the digital creation of clothing.

Why take this course? 

• To benefit from new career opportunities;
• To master digital clothing and discover the benefits of CLO for clothing design;
• To develop a unique dual skill set and stand out in the job market;
• To work on new types of projects (100% digital clothing, 3D modeling of costumes and clothing);
• To save time during the design process by using 3D simulations of the garments created, thereby reducing the number of prototypes produced.

Skills developed

Upon completion of this training, learners will be able to:

• Understand the garment development process using CLO software;
• Develop a digital garment product.

Programme 

• Presentation of the CLO software interface,
• Introduction to 2D functions,
