Within this course, students engage with advanced techniques in crafting luxury footwear, fostering an inclusive environment with a curriculum that includes advanced patternmaking, cutting, sewing, and the creation of varied footwear styles, including pumps, boots, sandals, and sneaker constructions. The final outcome will result in students producing a footwear collection, developing a deep understanding of diverse color and finish strategies for materials and hardware, and reflecting on a spectrum of cultural influences. Students are trained on various industrial machines and how to make sole and heel components with leather, including high-heel attachment techniques. This inclusive approach nurtures skills in CMF design while acknowledging and valuing diverse perspectives, cultural influences, and material choices in the field of footwear design.
