The fully funded residential fellowship, based at Dumfries House, offers immersive training in design, handcrafting and other aspects of the fashion creative process.
Participants will be mentored by expert artisans and tutors from the King’s Foundation.
Chanel and le19M, a Paris-based hub for the preservation and transmission of Metiers d’art, will also provide guidance.
The fellowship continues the King’s Foundation’s successful run of creative programmes, such as the Metiers d’art Embroidery Fellowship and the Metiers d’art Millinery Fellowship, both based at the Chanel Metiers d’art Atelier at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.
