Master the Art of Draping: A Live Demo with Brandon Zayden Skipper

Step into the world of high fashion at the Mood Fabrics Showroom in Ponce City Market. This exclusive event offers a front-row seat to the design process as Project Runway alum Brandon Zayden Skipper performs a live draping demonstration.

This is a unique opportunity to watch a professional designer at work. During the live demo, Brandon will:

• Drape in Real-Time: Watch a garment take shape from a flat piece of fabric to a 3D silhouette on a dress form.
• Explain the "Why": Learn the technical logic behind fabric manipulation, grainlines, and structural integrity.
• Professional Insights: Brandon will share stories and "runway secrets" about the construction techniques used in high-stakes fashion environments.

• A Live Masterclass: This is an observational session focused on visual learning and technical analysis.
• Interactive Design Dialogue: Unlike a standard lecture, Brandon will engage with the audience, explaining his moves as he makes them.
• Creative Inspiration: Set inside the legendary Mood Fabrics, you will be surrounded by the very materials that fuel the industry.

While you won't be draping yourself, we highly encourage you to bring your sketchbooks and current designs.

• Design Consultation: Brandon will be available to look over your sketches and offer specific advice.
• Technical Guidance: If you are stuck on a particular silhouette or construction challenge, bring your illustrations. Brandon can demonstrate techniques on the form specifically geared toward helping you solve your design hurdles.

Note: Everyone is welcome! Whether you are a student, a professional, or a fan of the craft, come ready to learn and get inspired. Secure your spot today to see the magic of Mood Fabrics come to life.
