Specialized Studio 2 expands on Design Studio courses and Specialized Studio 1, and gives the student the opportunity to build additional pathway-specific skills and techniques within 2D/3D executions. Students will have the opportunity to continue their pathways and further articulate their visions through 2D/3D processes, emphasizing innovation and personalization of technique. Students will continue integrating 3D software technology such as CLO 3D, and if applicable, other previously-learned 3D software, into design processes and final development. Specialized Studio 2 works collaboratively with Design Studio 4.

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.
