Irena Zeka

Irena Zeka is a Professor at Ababo teaching in the Fashion Design program, instructing core courses Textile Design (ABPR34) and Modeling (ABPR21) for first-year students. Her role involves curriculum development and hands-on instruction in digital textile production and garment construction methodologies.

Her research interests focus on:

• Fashion Design
• Textile Design
• Pattern Making
• Digital Printing
• Garment Construction

Professor Zeka's expertise centers on integrating digital technology with traditional textile arts, particularly in digital printing workflows and pattern engineering. Her Textile Design course covers modular pattern creation, fabric characteristics, color theory applications, and software-driven print development using Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator. The Modeling course emphasizes proportional accuracy in garment construction, covering bodice/skirt/trouser drafting, sleeve variations, and prototype development through paper patterning techniques.

She employs a hybrid pedagogical approach combining theoretical lectures with intensive studio workshops, requiring students to master industry-standard tools and materials. Assessment includes technical reports and final projects demonstrating applied design principles. Professor Zeka can be contacted at irena.zeka@ababo.it.
