Maybe you’re a style maven.
If any of the above sounds like you, Fashion Design might be your major.
You already know that every garment tells a story, and at Moore, you'll gain the practical, creative and business skills needed for success in the world of fashion. Our celebrated Fashion Design program will connect you with prestigious designers in Philadelphia and New York City, and in senior year, you'll send your final collection down the runway at our annual Fashion Show, which is always attended by big names in the industry. We also focus on sustainability, multiculturalism and size inclusivity, and you'll learn state-of-the-art 3D software that the pros use to save on time and fabric waste—which means that you'll have an advantage in the job market on day one.
Even if you don't already know how to sew, you'll be amazed at what you can do in just a few short years.

I knew that Moore would push me to become the greatest version of myself as an artist and designer, and would prepare me for my future and the tough obstacles that come along with the fashion industry. I look forward to [being] the best at what I do.

MEET CHRISTINA GORMAN ‘92
Christina is the Senior Vice President of Design for Interactive Television at Xcel Brands, the parent company of clothing lines like C. Wonder by Christian Siriano, TWRHLL by Christie Brinkley, and the Isaac Mizrahi collection for QVC. Before she was a powerhouse in the fashion industry, Christina was a Moore student taking courses in fashion illustration and working as an intern for Urban Outfitters in Philadelphia. As a recipient of the College’s 2024 Distinguished Alumni Award, Gorman reflected on her time at Moore as the foundation of her successful career. “During my experience at Moore, I was surrounded by people who were passionate about art … I was finally a ‘fish in water’ and it felt really good,” she says.
