Is this site going away?

The answer is yes, but it will be replaced with a new central directory.

The main difference will be that the new directory will not hold extensive information about each department. If your department or office has detailed info on this site, we will be working with you to find a home for your info on the main risd.edu and/or students.risd.edu site. Your page in the new central directory will have prominent links to your information where it exists.

We expect this work to continue into early 2025. In the meantime, please know that nothing here will disappear without notice.

Apparel Design

Apparel Design prepares students to meet the highest requirements of the fashion industry and articulate their own unique vision through the clothing they design and make. Emphasizing conceptual rigor matched by strong technical skills, the program guides majors through each stage of the apparel design process—from concept sketches to beautifully executed wearables.
