In Campus Fashion Studio
At MIUC fashion studios are spaces where fashion design students or professionals work on creating designs, patterns, and garments. They often have equipment such as sewing machines, cutting tables, mannequins, and other tools needed for fashion design and production. In a campus or college context, a fashion studio could be a dedicated space within a fashion design program or department where students work on their projects or collaborate on fashion-related activities.
