In Creative Technical Studio 2, students continue to expand their fashion making skills with an emphasis on pathway-specific expertise, in collaboration with the other core studios: Design Studio 2 and Visual Communication 2. These suites of skills are presented as creative design tools to be utilized in open, iterative processes, and as means to realizing and executing solutions to design problems. Students will develop and refine a core skill set on which to develop specializations in junior and senior year.

The Systems and Society pathway considers design in the broader context of the fashion system and society. Approaches to garment manufacturing, methods of production and craft of use are considered towards a redefinition of make/design processes and the system they inhabit. Deep exploration in terms of research and process towards unexpected outcomes exploring non-conformist and socio-political approaches to the body, image, communication, and dress can result in apparel and in non-apparel directions.
