The Saudi Fashion Commission has announced the launch of a new digital fashion design program, in collaboration with the prestigious Marangoni Institute.
The fully funded virtual program is open to 100 Saudi fashion designers and aims to equip them with the necessary digital skills to thrive in today’s fashion industry.

The five-month program will focus on teaching designers how to use digital fashion design software CLO 3D, which allows for the creation of virtual, realistic garments and accessories.
The software also reduces textile waste and speeds up the once time-consuming design process by allowing designers to make adjustments to the 3D avatar.

“Equipping Saudi designers with the innovative skills needed to thrive in today’s fashion world is key to our success at the Fashion Commission. We are thrilled with the opportunity to continue our long-standing partnership with Istituto Marangoni as we prepare our designers for the future of fashion,” Burak Çakmak, executive director of the Saudi Fashion Commission, said in a statement on Thursday.
By the end of the course, designers will have mastered the use of 3D modeling, high-definition renderings, moving images and animated videos, especially for sales and communication purposes. The program will be taught by professional and international staff from all Istituto Marangoni schools.
