About this class

With sustainability being the new focus and responsibility of the luxury sector, both locally and globally, the Fashion Design department at VCUarts Qatar has launched a new initiative called Eco-Luxury Laboratory (Eco Lux Lab), supported by the Community & Continuing Education Program. 

In response to the huge carbon footprint being produced by fashion photoshoots, the fashion world has experienced a shift to fashion illustration. For example, Italian Vogue magazine has dedicated a whole section to fashion illustration. Richard Haines is one of the top fashion illustrators internationally, and he is also a VCUarts alumnus. 

In this workshop, participants will pay a virtual visit to his Brooklyn studios where they will have a closer look at his creative process, starting with concept creation, his journey engaging his views in his illustration and the final result.

Class Outline
  • Introduction to the Eco Lux Lab
  • The process explained
  • Discussion with the designer, Richard Haines
