Fabriclore Announces Masterclass & Fabric Library for Fashion Design Institutes

Fabriclore, the innovative tech-enabled fabric sourcing platform, has announced the launch of its Masterclass and Fabric Library initiative for Fashion Design Institutes across the country. The Fabric Library initiative aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience in textile and fashion design education. Recognising the challenges posed by the complex, fragmented fabric supply chain, Fabriclore is bringing a curated selection of fabrics directly to design institutions.

Each Fabric Library, designed with industry needs in mind, will showcase a wide spectrum of fabric samples, including:

• Natural fibers: Cotton, linen, and pure silk.
• Sustainable options: Lenzing, Liva & Bemberg Cupro.
• Various knitted fabrics.

The primary purpose of these libraries is to make fabrics accessible for design students to touch, feel, and use in their projects. This hands-on approach creates a learning environment where students can explore different fabric types, experiment with color combinations, learn about sustainable options & understand industry-standard quality assessment techniques. Complementing the Fabric Library, Fabriclore's Masterclass program will bring fabric experts directly to the classroom. These sessions will offer students invaluable insights into the latest trends, techniques, and technologies shaping the fashion industry. Fabriclore states that by combining their Fabric Library with expert-led Masterclasses, they are creating a comprehensive learning experience that prepares students for the realities of the fashion industry. The company asserts that the initiative promises multiple benefits for both educational institutions and the fashion industry at large. They explain that design colleges will gain enhanced practical learning opportunities, up-to-date resources reflecting current industry standards, and a distinctive feature to attract prospective students.

Fabriclore adds that for the fashion industry, this translates to a more skilled, industry-ready workforce, increased awareness of innovative sourcing solutions among emerging designers, and a pipeline of talent familiar with tech-enabled platforms. Sustainability is a key focus of the program. The Fabric Libraries will prominently feature sustainable fabric options, instilling a sense of responsibility in future designers from the outset of their careers. This aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainability in the fashion industry and positions students at the forefront of this important trend.

As Fabriclore rolls out its Fabric Libraries and Masterclass program, it's setting a new standard for practical, industry-aligned design education. This initiative has the potential to spark similar collaborations between industry leaders and educational institutions, ultimately leading to a more dynamic and responsive educational ecosystem.

By familiarizing students with tech-enabled sourcing solutions and industry best practices early in their educational journey, Fabriclore is preparing them for the digital future of fashion. As these programs take shape across campuses nationwide, they promise to reshape the landscape of fashion design education, crafting not just the designers of tomorrow, but the future of fashion itself.
