Specialized Studio 1 aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop an individual approach to design, thereby increasing their practical, theoretical, technical, and material application skills. Working collaboratively with Design Studio 3 provides students the opportunity to build additional skills and techniques within the context of specialized areas of focus in design aesthetic, materiality, and market contexts. Students will be introduced to 3D software technology such as CLO 3D, and if applicable, other previously-learned 3D software into their design process and final development. Specialized Studio 1 works collaboratively with Design Studio 3.

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.
