History of the Department

The Department of Fashion Technology was created in 2022 by joining the Department of Design and Technology of Textile Materials to the Department of Design and Technology of Leather Products.

The Department has the following educational and scientific laboratories: "Design and development of footwear at Delcam CRISPIN", "Laboratory of sewing technologies of the fashion industry", "Laboratory of design and technological preparation of leather goods production", "3D laboratory of anthropometric studies", "Laboratory of footwear and haberdashery design products". The purpose of creating these laboratories is to provide students with the opportunity to master innovative technologies in design, modeling, projecting and product technology. The Department has two educational knitting laboratories; four teaching laboratories in materials science; knitwear design and CAD office; educational laboratory of knitwear design and artistic design; educational sewing laboratory. At its disposal, the Department has computers that are used in the teaching of design courses, in the preparation of laboratory, course, diploma and scientific papers. In addition, the educational process includes laboratory work in specialized computer classes of the information and computing center of KNUTD.

Considerable attention is paid not only to education but also to the research work of students. Most students are engaged in scientific and research work in various directions under the guidance of teachers of the Department. The Department has the Student House of Shoe Models, where students develop and manufacture promising samples of shoes and leather goods for various purposes. The designs of the Student House of Shoe Models have received recognition both in Ukraine (annual prizes at the all-Ukrainian competitions of young footwear designers) and in other countries.

The intensification of the educational process, the development and implementation of the latest progressive forms of education, 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 over 90 years, almost 7,000 of them 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, and Iraq. Many graduates of the Department work abroad.

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENTS OF STUDENTS

Today, the best shoe collections developed by our students participate in numerous specialized competitions of young shoe designers: "Pecherski Kashtany" (Kyiv), "Fashionable Color" (Mukachevo), as well as far abroad. At the same time, students receive a high rating from the jury in various nominations every year, which is confirmed by diplomas and awards.

The new creative specializations of the footwear specialty involve the mastering of a number of design disciplines, the main task of which is to help reveal the student's inner potential, orient him to the continuous continuous development and improvement of talent and professional skills.

The initial stage of creating a design masterpiece is the development of sketches. The most progressive approach to the implementation of this stage of work is the use of modern computer graphic programs.

STUDENT DESIGN BUREAU

Students are not limited to the theoretical study of specialized courses. After all, professionalism is acquired through painstaking and fruitful work: practice at production sites, development and production of one’s own designer collections of shoes, accessories and clothes.

Working in the student groups "Scientific developments in the design and manufacture of products of the fashion industry" and "Marketing support for the formation of the assortment of leather products" and the design bureau, students develop shoe collections that later participate in various competitions (including the international ones) for young fashion designers of shoes and accessories. Purposeful and inspired artists are not intimidated by the painstaking work of implementing an imaginary idea into a finished shoe, although this process involves a long list of operations.

In 2017, the shoe museum of Kyiv National Universities of Technology and Design was opened.

 

Rector of KNUTD, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology I.M. Hryshchenko, opens a new art object of the University:
