Back to school, Adobe Illustrator for Fashion Course
What's involved in the Adobe Illustrator for Fashion Training Course?
The short answer just about anything as long as it’s connected to fashion. It could be clothes, coats, jackets, shoes, handbags, hats or even socks for that matter.
On this course you learn how to create and edit digital fashion design which include technical drawings, flats and layout. You’ll learn how vector based tools such as the pen work to draw accurately and how to apply patterns, repeat patterns.
Adobe’s Sensei AI latest tools come into play in the Illustrator Course with the new Pattern Generation Tool and apply designs to clothes using Illustrator’s MockUp Tool.

Illustrator Training in St.Helens, Liverpool
We spend quite a lot of time working with the education sector training Illustrator Fashion Design and this week found us travelling to St.Helens, Liverpool. We spent a few days working with Vikki, Head of the Fashion Department at Carmel College where we showed her how Illustrator fits in perfectly with fashion design.
Currently their A level course focuses on sustainability in fashion which was right up our street. They’ve been reusing zips, ruffles, lace etc from unwanted clothes or charity shop buy’s to put their physical designs together.
Great stuff, we’re absolute charity street addicts here at Greta Powell Training
From this September 2025 Illustrator Fashion Training is being included into St.Helens A level curriculum in preparation for the students going on to university which is where Greta entered the mix.
