Does your Fido dream of the bright lights and long runways of Paris Canine Fashion Week? Does your kitten purr when she thinks about a spread in Meow Claire? The fashion runway is now open to dogs, cats, and birds of all shapes and sizes, and it’s up to you to design the perfect look! This summer you’ll be going beyond the bandana to design and fabricate innovative outfits and blending this with digital tools and fabrication technology to create Pet Project Runway! We’ll be looking at future-thinking fashion insiders like Iris Van Herpen and Comme des Garcons for inspiration, and creating the next line of fashion for your favorite pets!

Using the combined power of digital design (computer aided drafting, 3D modeling) and rapid prototyping tools (laser cutters and 3D printers), students in this studio will create high-tech fashion pieces for their pets. The designs could include fashion pieces for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and even the occasional gerbil. Students will also incorporate unique materials, complex patterns, and robotics into their final pieces! Get ready to enter the high flying world of pet fashion!
