Regulations on the Department of Fashion Technology
Work plan of the Department of TM
The Department of Fashion Technology was established in 2022 by merging the Department of Textile Materials Technology and Design with the Department of Leather Goods Design and Technology.
Historical background on the Department of Leather Goods Design and Technology
The department has educational and research laboratories: "Footwear Design and Development in DelcamCrispin", "Fashion Industry Sewing Technology Laboratory", "Laboratory for Design and Technological Preparation of Leather Goods Production", "3D Laboratory for Anthropometric Research", "Laboratory for Footwear and Haberdashery Design", "Textile Materials Finishing". The purpose of these laboratories is to provide students with the opportunity to master innovative technologies in the field of design, modelling, engineering and technology of light industry products. The department has two knitting laboratories, teaching laboratories for materials science, a knitwear design and CAD office, a teaching laboratory for knitwear design and artistic design, and a teaching sewing laboratory. The department has computers that are used in teaching design-oriented disciplines and in performing laboratory, course, diploma and scientific work. In addition, the educational process includes laboratory work in specialised computer classrooms at the KNUTD Information and Computing Centre, which are equipped with a sufficient number of modern personal computers.
Considerable attention is paid not only to teaching, but also to students' research work. Most students are engaged in research work in various fields under the guidance of department faculty. The department has a student Shoe Design Studio, where students develop and manufacture promising designs for footwear and leather goods for various purposes. The designs of the Student Shoe Design Studio have gained recognition both in Ukraine (annual prizes at national competitions for young designers of shoes, clothing and accessories) and in other countries around the world.
The intensification of the educational process, the development and implementation of the latest progressive forms of teaching, the preparation of textbooks and manuals, and the improvement of professional and pedagogical qualifications have become the key to the department's success in training highly qualified specialists, and in more than 90 years, almost 7,000 specialists have been trained in all forms of education, including more than 650 design engineers and 50 specialists for Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Vietnam, Germany, Cuba, Mongolia, Romania, Iraq, and Georgia. Many graduates of the department work abroad.
The training of bachelors and masters at the Department is conducted by 7 highly qualified teachers, including 4 professors and 6 associate professors. The number of teachers with academic degrees and academic titles is 100%.

The training of scientific researchers from different generations, united by a common programme and style of research work under the guidance of socially recognised scientists, has ensured the high efficiency of scientific developments, their dissemination and implementation, as well as the reproduction of scientific research at qualitatively new levels. Today, scientific and artistic schools have been formed and are working fruitfully at the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, making a significant contribution to the development of science and culture on a national and international scale. Undoubtedly, scientific research at the university will continue to deepen and develop, approaching world standards.
The department is a graduating department. Field of knowledge 18 – "Production and Technology". Speciality: G 15 "Light Industry Technologies" Educational programme "Fashion Industry".
CREATIVE PROJECTS OF STUDENTS
Today, the best footwear collections designed by our students participate in numerous specialised competitions for young designers: “Pecherski Kashtany”, “Suzirya Kashtan”, “Digital Fashion”, “Modny Koloryt”, as well as in many other countries around the world. At the same time, students receive high marks from the jury in various nominations every year, which is confirmed by diplomas and awards.
New creative specialisations in footwear design involve mastering many design disciplines, the main task of which is to help students unlock their inner potential and guide them towards continuous development and improvement of their talent and professional skills.
The initial stage of creating a design masterpiece is the development of sketches. The most progressive approach to implementing this stage of work is the use of modern computer graphics programmes.

STUDENT DESIGN BUREAU
Students are not limited to theoretical study of specialised disciplines. After all, professionalism is acquired through painstaking and fruitful work: practical training in production areas, development and manufacture of their own designer collections of footwear, accessories and clothing.
Working in student clubs "Scientific developments in the design and manufacture of fashion industry products" and "Marketing support for the formation of a range of leather products" and in the design bureau, students develop footwear collections, which are then entered into various competitions (including international ones) for young footwear and accessory designers. These determined and inspired artists are not afraid of the painstaking work involved in turning an imaginary idea into finished footwear, even though this process involves a long list of operations.
In 2017, the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design opened a shoe museum.
Now, the complex of facilities, whose work ensures a modern level of practice-oriented training for future designers, constructors, and technologists in the footwear and leather goods industry, consists of:
— The Delcam CRISPIN Training Centre has been operating for 10 years on the basis of a tripartite agreement between the British company Delcam (Autodesk) and the Delcam CRISPIN Footwear Design and Development Educational and Research Laboratory (room 1-0318).
— The laboratory for educational, industrial practice and scientific research contains 100 units of technological equipment similar to that installed at most enterprises in Ukraine. The laboratory's collection of lasts consists of 315 units and more than 260 pairs of shoe samples provided by the university's partners (TM MIDA) and more than 180 pairs (LucianoCarvari). A full range of footwear materials and highly qualified specialists with extensive experience in the fashion industry (room 2-0201).
— A unique art object in terms of format, it combines a triad: a shoe museum - showroom, shoe design studios (ShoeDesignStudio KNUTD) - multimedia auditorium (room 1-0111).
PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS IN DESIGN COMPETITIONS
The FT Department is a co-organiser of the “Pecherski Kashtany” International Competition for Young Designers and the All-Ukrainian New Year and Christmas Competition for Young Fashion Designers of Single Outfits and New Year and Christmas Decorations, "Suzirya "Kashstan"".
