The Academy of Couture Art was founded as a higher institution of learning to teach the principles and techniques of fashion that go above and beyond those ordinarily taught in the United States by providing instruction combining European Haute Couture fashion with American fashion. Unique to American fashion education, ACA teaches Pattern Design and Fashion Design separately.
Located in the prestigious Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, CA, the Academy of Couture Art offers innovative, challenging, and flexible fashion education programs that prepare a diverse student population for professional excellence in design, fashion and business. Academy of Couture Art has designed a unique Intensive English Language Program combining hands-on instruction and student-centered learning.
Another nightly pattern! I like this one a lot because it's got a really stringy feeling to it because of all of the little seeds and sticks! Part of 101florals.blogspot.com and on my personal blog: blog.paperbicycle.com

Pictures rescued from the photographic archive of Keighley lathe manufacturers Dean, Smith And Grace. "Deans" was founded in 1865 and made the "Rolls Royce Of Lathes" . My dad worked here as a patternmaker from 1964 until until the company closed in 1992, and my brother served his engineering apprenticeship here in the late 80s. At one time, Deans was such a large employer that Keighley's town holidays were based around those of the factory.
This is the patternshop where my dad worked. Patternmakers considered themselves to be the aristocrats of craftsmen, and traditionally always wore ties.
