The Cut Fashion Design Academy

When I first applied to The Cut I had minimal drawing skills but a real passion for design. I took the fashion illustration course hoping to understand more about the design industry and learn useful illustration skills… turns out that’s exactly what I got out of the course and more. Both of my instructors (Jason & Kelsey) were very well experienced in design as well as being understanding and patient when teaching new students. The environment in person at The Cut is very friendly for both new and experienced students. The staff is very encouraging and nice, while remaining professional and driven to get the best out of you. I never thought I’d be able to draw like I can now after taking the fashion illustration course at the cut. I definitely recommend The Cut to anyone wanting to get a start in the design industry.Liza is also very helpful and kind with her advice from her experience in the industry.

I reached out to Liza to help me get my new golf shirt company off the ground. She has helped so much from the manufacturing off my product to new ideas and pointed me in the right direction so my company could stand a chance . She is amazing to deal with and has so much experience in her field. I am so grateful to have found her to show me the way.

Highly recommend the Launch Your Line" course for designers who aspire to turn their art into a business!I took the course in Feb - Mar 2018. When I started

I love the Cut!I took the Pattern Making and Assembling Technique certificate and learned so much! Intensive but I found exactly what I was looking for : a short, high-quality training that would give me industry-level pattern making skills. I am so happy with what I have learned.The teachers Joana and Chay are absolutely amazing! A lot of experience, supportive, but also they push you to give the best of yourself. The small class size allowed to have an almost one-on-one training. The staff there is also super nice and great! Great memories and connection with my classmates. I loved coming to the school and meet my school family :))Liza, the owner and dean of the school, is wonderful! She brings you amazing job opportunities and connections. She is always looking to connect you with people in the industry. I am so grateful!

Launch Your Line has been a great experience. I wasn't sure if I wanted to move forward with my brand but thank to Liza Deyrmenjian I am confident I will be successful.

I am delighted to share my experience with The Cut Fashion Design Academy, which I have been attending as a mature student. I decided to switch careers, and this school has been an incredible support throughout my journey.The small group classes have been a game-changer for me. I have received individual attention and guidance from unique and talented teachers. The teachers have not only helped me develop my skills but have also been very supportive of my needs.The school has provided a conducive learning environment that has helped me grow and thrive. The curriculum has been well-structured, and I have learned so much from the program. The hands-on approach has allowed me to apply my knowledge and skills in actual practice, and I have already seen improvements in my understanding and reasoning to solve problems.I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to pursue a career in fashion. The staff and teachers are incredibly supportive, and the small group classes offer a unique learning experience that is hard to find elsewhere. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing my journey with TFDA.

This was the only school that had the 3D classes that I was looking for. Everyone from the administration, to the staff to the professors were so accommodating and knowledgeable. I always felt as though someone had my back. I am so glad I signed up as a student and am looking forward to taking more classes.

I'm taking the Fashion Design diploma course here. All the lessons are well-planned. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable and provide invaluable insider experience of the fashion industry. All the staff and students here are so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend The Cut to all those who are interested in fashion!

I got an opportunity to take up 2 full time courses at The Cut. The 14 weeks courses are perfectly designed to get the candidates prepared for the industry. We had a small class size which meant personalised attention to each student. I was mentored by Liza, Jason and Joanna, who are some of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. We also got a chance to exhibit our capsule collection at the end of the course which gave the confidence to step into the Vancouver fashion scene. Liza, the Dean at The Cut also greatly helped in finding placements after completion of the course.I would strongly recommend The Cut to anyone who wants to learn from the best!

My teen daughter attended the week-long summer camp at The Cut & had the best experience. She learned so much in that short time, and left very inspired to continue on the creative path of fashion design. Highly recommend!
