Kazuyo’s instruction was invaluable to me in developing skills with CLO3D.

Her lessons are comprehensive and easy to follow,

it did not take me long to gain a proficiency in the program under her guidance.

She was receptive to my needs and tailored our lessons to my specific interests in apparel pattern-making and construction.

Being able to demonstrate my newfound skills in CLO gave me the professional edge

that landed me my first position in the Apparel industry.

Learning under Kazuyo is a more than worthwhile investment,

whether you are an early-career professional or an industry veteran looking to develop your 3D skills.

私は中野先生の「CLO基礎～応用コース　３２レッスン」を受講しました。

専門学校などに比べてとても良心的な費用です。そして何よりマンツーマン指導なので

目的に向けて短期で内容の濃いレッスンを受けられますので、時間も有効活用できました。

 

レッスンはとても分かりやすく、レッスンの復習をして宿題をこなしていくと自然とCLOを習得できており

４月中旬に開始し、11月で修了でしたが、10月の「ファッション３D モデリスト検定【３級 】」を

受験し、合格することができました。CLO技術において大切なこと、便利な機能、コツや裏技的なやり方など

上級者ならではの方法を初めから教えて頂くのは、上達の近道になると思います。

 

そして中野先生のデザイナーとしての経験談やニューヨークの最新情報など、レッスン以外のお話も

私にとって刺激となり、今後の仕事に参考となるアドバイスも頂けて大満足のレッスンでした。本当にありがとうございました！

" Kazuyo is an amazing teacher and explained all the concepts really well with video examples and predeveloped practice files.

Her library of resources and extensive experience accelerated my learning curve and enabled me to expand my 3D design services.

She was available to help me with any challenges I had and offered a lot of bonus content.

I would highly recommend Kazuyo if you want to learn CLO. "

私は日本の東京都でパタンナーをしています。キャリアは18年、CLOはほぼ初心者でした。CLOでの着せつけもおぼつかない状態でレッスンを開始して、合計12回のレッスンを受けました。私が知りたい内容を中心に中野先生がレッスンをしてくださったおかげで、私は今スーツ、トレンチコート、ダウンジャケット等、服はオールアイテム、小物はハンドバッグを少し勉強中ですができるようになりました。中野先生のレッスンは本当にお勧めです。中野先生のレッスンの良い所は、先生の拠点であるニューヨークで最新のCLO情報や、日本ではあまり無い「効率よく、短時間で仕上げる方法」を教えてくれる所だと思います。そもそも何故CLOを使うのか？CLOを使って社内でどうやってコミュニケーションをとるか？作成したバーチャルサンプルは人の心を動かせるか？CLOの技術だけではなく、中野先生からは本当に色々な事を教えて頂きました。CLOのオンラインレッスンを探している方へ、中野先生のレッスンは本当にお勧めします。

I have zero experience in 2D and wanting to learn CLO 3D was a mission impossible.  I was very frustrated and panicked after watching more than 10 YouTube videos on learning CLO 3D.  I was about to give up on this learning and I know I needed the help.  I found Kazuyo thru LinkedIn.  Kazuyo is a CLO3D Trainer and Visiting professor/ Lecturer at 317 Designs Inc.

I was very excited, and I immediately contacted her and scheduled my 9 hours beginner class.  Learning CLO 3D with Kazuyo was great.  She understood and explained every single detail very clearly.  She also gives me homework with videos that help me to understand some special tricks.  I like to ask tons of questions.  She is very patient and nice. She gave me so many hints on the sewing tools on the garment construction details.  

My result after taking her class was 100% click-through improvement.  I can now use CLO3D very confidently and effectively.

I would recommend Kazuyo to all my friends. She will be your best education experience.  

Thank you Kazuyo!

私は、和代先生のレッスンを受講する前にcloの基本操作は習得していましたが、更に技術を付けたいと悩んでいた時に先生の講座を見つけ申し込みをしました。

レッスン開始日より前にzoomでのミーティングで、私の現状と目的を的確に理解して頂きスケジュールを組んでもらいました。

　毎週のレッスンと宿題をフィードバックしてもらうと、理解力が深まり何よりCLO3Dがより好きになりました。

先生のレッスンを受講する前は、難しいなとか大変という思いが強くて創作を楽しんでいなかった自分に気付きました。

CLOの創作は、柔軟な発想力がキーポイントだという事もレッスンから沢山学びました。

毎回充実した内容のレッスンは、アッという間に終わってしまい、今度はバックなど他の項目を受講したいと考えています。

　何かを学ぶ時、先生選びはとても重要です。私の様に、伸び悩んでいたりモチベーションを高めたい方、

和代先生のレッスン後は違う景色がみえるはずです。

Try it, it's fun!

‘I really enjoyed the one-on-one online trainings with Kazuyo and learned a lot from her. Thanks to Kazuyo, I can even say that I could not learn it faster. As a fashion designer and a pattern making fan, I was looking for an online course to learn CLO3D and to my design skills. I found her website within days and directly contacted her explaining my motivations and concerns about my level. She asked all the right questions and created a special class plan just for me. And with all the extra videos and session recordings, I learned the maximum for the short time period that she taught me. I had the chance to ask any questions that I had and always got the most detailed explanations and answers. I was really lucky to have found her online. So, if you are looking to get deep in fashion business adding 3d skillsets to your competence and explore a brand-new horizon, don’t even think twice! You won’t regret it!

I had the pleasure to learn CLO3D for handbags from Kazuyo for her introductory lesson. 

With her help and well-organized lesson plans, I was able to advance quickly and efficiently. 

She was always very professional with scheduling and very responsive when I had specific questions. 

I would highly recommend learning CLO3D from Kazuyo,

and I plan to continue learning from her in the future."

- Lauren Kacher France Jan 25, 2021, Handbag Design

​

I had taken part in 6 clo3d classes via zoom with Kazuyo.

The course was really helpful and was tailored with what I wanted to learn specifically with the first initial meeting that is free for 30mins to discuss what my aims were with the course.

Each class was very informative with various videos sent to me about each construction technique and also in person demonstrations and explanation on issues and solutions.

During my course I had modelled an outdoor jacket that I had designed for a current project and was allowed to do this within the course. Overall, the class is something I would recommend getting to grips with the 3D modelling world more and you have a great mentor with Kazuyo.”

Taking the CLO3D lesson from Kazuyo is probably one of the best decisions I made in 2020.

She is one of those rare instructors who not only understands CLO3D software inside out but is also an experienced handbag & small leather goods designer/pattern maker. In other words,

learning from her is not just about learning how to operate CLO3D, but also how to create real life patterns!

For instance, when I asked her to show me how to create complicated patterns such as French gusset bag, gathered tote, or structured bag with scrunchie top handle, she would demonstrate live or pre-record a tutorial video, and walk me through the whole process during the class...I learned how to do all of the above in a mere 5-week period! Honestly, I would come back for more lessons in the future!

福井県越前市で祖父の時代から続く縫製工場を経営している者です。日本国内に流通する衣料品の国産（数量ベース）の割合は２％となり、わたしたちが着る服のほとんどは海外製品です。国内の縫製工場にまわってくる仕事は年々小ロット化が進み、縫製の効率化を進めようにもしょせん人の手でこなす仕事ですから難しさがあります。将来的に国内で縫製工場として生き残る道を模索するなか、中野先生が教えるＣＬＯの存在を知りました。例えば実際にミシンを踏んで１枚の服をつくるのと、キーボードをたたいてＣＬＯのデジタルで同じ服をつくるのとでは時間、材料代などのコストの面で大きく違います。うまくＣＬＯを服作りの生産過程に組込められれば、多品種小ロットで手間ばかりかかって利益が出せない縫製工場の未来が明るく開ける可能性を感じました。中野先生は生徒一人ひとりのニーズにあったＣＬＯの活用方法を考えてレッスン内容を組んでくれるので、学ぶ内容が実践的で、また教え方も優しく丁寧であるため私のように会社の経営もしながらＣＬＯを学ぶ者にとっては非常に助かりました。今後はＣＬＯを縫製工場が提供するサービスのひとつとして活用していきたいので、工場の社員にも中野先生のレッスンを受けさせようと考えているところです。

Kazuyo is a fabulous teacher. So far, I have taken 30 hours of lessons with her and plan to take more when my schedule allows. Prior to meeting Kazuyo, I had no formal training in handbag design or any type of CAD software. I was a beginner. She worked with me and tailored the lessons to fit both my needs and interests. We designed multiple, complex bags in CLO3D. From 2D to 3D to renders, zippers to hardware to linings, leathers to other fabrics, we explored a great deal of the functionality in CLO3d. I am now able to work and manage in CLO3D. You won’t find a better teacher than Kazuyo.
 -Jonathan Biebl (Los Angeles, CA) Handbag Design

After searching for weeks for an independent trainer on CLO it was clear that Kazuyo was the right trainer for me. She brings a wealth of knowledge not just in the tool itself but from being in industry herself and that mix of both real-world expertise coupled with proficiency in the tool makes Kazuyo the great teacher that she is. Then you find out that she is largely self-taught and all the tips / tricks that you learn to speed up your own learning, is from her own learning. 

When presented with a unique problem in a garment Kazuyo will endeavor to find a workable solution and come back to you for your next lesson on the possible approaches to the garment creation. 

In summary if you want a bespoke 1-1 program where you can learn at a pace that suits you then look no further. Kazuyo comes with a strong recommendation from me.”

My name is Bingjing Li , Fashion Designer based in NYC.

In the beginning of 2020, I am becoming a 3D Fashion designer for another 3D program.
I really like what I am doing and while working as a full time 3D designer,

I realized that virtual garments will inevitably change the fashion industry, 3D fashion is not a question but when will it happen.
Then I searched online to search for the 2nd 3Dprogram to dive into the 3D fashion world and I found Kazuyo Nakano.

I booked a 12-hour beginner CLO3D course, 4 weeks, twice a week. Kazuyo is very detail oriented, and she teaches me a lot during the sessions. Even though this is a beginner course, since I have some prior experience in other programs, the class runs very smoothly, and Kazuyo always gives me hints and tips for those I missed, and she won't waste any minute, Kazuyo always gives me some new tutorial which is not covered in the course when we have some extra time to grow faster.
I am planning to take another course with Kazuyo in early 2021, which is the 3D handbag course, she is the only trainer doing handbag courses that I am really interested in.

I believe it will be another amazing experience with Kazuyo.

I highly recommend Kazuyo to anyone who wants to get into the 3D fashion world.

私は日本で洋服のパタンナーしています。日本では3Dをアパレルで導入活用できている会社は少ない状況です。また、個人で学べる学校は少なく、そして高額です。先生の授業は個人でも負担が少ない金額で１対１で効率よく学ぶことができます。資料やビデオ、授業録画など、内容はとても充実しています。

私は最初に６回授業を受け、のちに追加で６回受けました。

先生の授業は全員が同じことを学ぶのではなく、個人のレベルに合わせ、わかっている部分は省略することも、詳しく知りたいことを追加で学ぶこともできます。実務に直結しており、自分の仕事で生かせる使い方をより深く専門的に学ぶことが可能です。授業を受けて分からない箇所や個人で進めている課題の内容でも、問合せをすることで教えていただけますし、理解が足りなければ補足を追加した授業内容に変更して対応して頂けます。

このほかにも、勤めている会社にcloの導入を進めるために上司にどのようなプレゼンが効果的かアドバイス頂けたり、中野先生はとても意欲的で親切な方です。clo３dを身に付けたいのであれば、先生の授業を受けるのが一番の近道だと思います。ありがとうございました。

みなさんこんにちわ、日本でファッションデザイナーをしているYumiです。日本でCLOを学べる場所を探していたのですが、どこも高額で悩んでいたところweb検索でKazuyoさんのサイトを見つけ、友人と2人でCLOファッションレッスンZOOM動画　6回9時間コースを受講しました。CLOはなかなか慣れないうちは操作が難しいですが、毎回レッスンの資料がいただけるのと、ZOOMの動画を録画させてもらえるので、それを見ながら後からしっかり復習が出来るようになっています。

Kazuyoさんの教え方もわかりやすいので、短時間で思った以上に技術がつきました。日本語で受講出来るので、日本のみなさまはぜひ受講してみてください。

Kazuyo is by far, first in class when it comes to teaching the ins and outs of CLO.  Her thoughtful approach
On building a course centered around her student’s needs is exactly why I gravitated to her. 

I signed up for her　9-hour training course with very limited exposure to the software. 

By the end of the course, my confidence Level, as well as my skillset level had grown tremendously. 

I am a firm believer in Kazuyo’s teaching method,
And am proof that tremendous success comes when the student is comfortable learning at his/ her own pace.

If you’re looking to grow your skills professionally, or learn CLO at your leisure,

I highly recommend that you reach
Out to Kazuyo.  I promise you; you won’t be disappointed.  “Kazuyo is THE BEST!”

"I took 15 classes with Kazuyo. I started as a beginner and slowly progressed to advanced level. The course was great! I highly recommend Kazuyo as a teacher. Kazuyo is very supportive and patient teacher and a mentor.
I really enjoyed learning from her.”
APPAREL DESIGN: Natalie USA, April 2020

​

I was introduced to Kazuyo by a friend when I was looking for someone to help further my CLO education. I had learned CLO a year before but had not worked with the software since, so I needed some brushing up and then to move into intermediate & advanced learning. Kazuyo was the perfect instructor for this.

 

She is very clear and thorough in her explanations, and very patient.

She was able to be flexible with the lessons in order to gear them towards the subjects I was interested in, or curious about which was really helpful…most traditional classes you cannot change the curriculum.

 

I was a bit worried that a video class would be difficult, but she is an expert here as well, and the screen sharing worked perfectly.

I plan go back to her from time to time to learn something new or get some advice on a project. I highly recommend her!
APPAREL DESIGN: April 2020 Mary Cassidy USA

​

I booked the 12-hour beginner crash course with Kazuyo to learn about bag design with CLO3D.

As an absolute beginner in the field of fashion CAD and textile design in general it was a steep learning curve for me and a great experience. Kazuyo is a very professional teacher:  

all classes were prepared with detailed training videos to be studied beforehand and prebuilt models for download from CLOset.

This gives you the possibility to maximize the value you get from the actual lessons.

The lessons themselves are conducted via Zoom which I found as good as in-person lessons due to the screen sharing functionality.

At the end of the course, you keep all instruction materials as well as the video recordings of the training sessions, so nothing is lost.

I also greatly appreciated that Kazuyo modified her course for me: while it normally focuses on handbags,

she adapted it for me as my interest is more on luggage and sports bags - so don't be afraid to approach her if you want to learn about something other than ladies' handbags:)

Finally, Kazuyo is not only an expert in CLO but a true fashion industry veteran,

I found her insights into the business side of things as valuable as the training itself.

In summary, I recommend this course without reservation.

HANDBAG DESIGN: AF, London, March 2020

 

I have reached out Kazuyo for a 12-hour class focused on virtual accessories design (bags/headwear), and it’s my most appreciated class experience so far.

Not only Kazuyo is offering the only virtual accessories design online but also, 

she put so much effort to help me reach my goal. She customized my curriculum and explained every single detail to help. My Project is complicated and challenging,

so, she needs to try several times first to offer me the best solution.

Her decades hands down patternmaking / construction experience definitely will help anyone whose interested in virtual modeling.

And she is also patient and encouraging, she even gave me genuine career advice and feedbacks.

​

I have highly recommended her if anyone needs to find a CLO teacher, she will be your one of your best education experiences. “

"Kazuyo created a custom curriculum for me to learn how to use Clo3D in ways specific to my industry! I design technical outdoor backpacks and carry products and Kazuyo's class is helping me transform the way I design. She was always helpful in answering my questions. After the course I felt like I learned enough to take Clo3D and use it on my own in a professional setting."

 

Thanks,

I took total 21 hours one on one with Kazuyo just for the apparel. I already have knowledge in pattern cutting, but never experience with 3D software. At first, 

I was struggle finding a good teacher on the internet, but she is a really great teacher with patient and encouraging.

She will customize my need and fit my timetable. Also, she will discuss with you that you will learn next lesson, so there won't be overlap learning.

I really do enjoy learning from her, and I did learn a lot from her.

"I reached out to Kazuyo in regard to her private CLO3D training program,

with a focus in Apparel Design.

I started as a complete beginner, took 14 lessons, and feel very satisfied that

I have learned all the skills needed to continue in CLO!

Kazuyo is a great teacher! She customized the class towards the needs and focuses that I had.

She responded very quickly and clearly on the homework assignments and put in extra time to answer my questions and put together extra tutorials if needed.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning the program!"
-Apparel Design, USA July 2020

​

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this CLO3D course, which covered the beginner and intermediate/advanced level.

I was surprised by how quickly Kazuyo taught me to create in CLO3d.

She gave me great confidence and I am sure that these classes will help me find new opportunities within the apparel industry.
Because she helped me to cover a lot in a short period, I felt I had to rush through the materials.

I am grateful to have all the classes recorded to return to in the future to review when necessary.
Studying with Kazuyo was a great experience!

I would highly recommend Kazuyo's course to anyone who is looking to advance their career and learn CLO3d.

I reached out Kazuyo for her private training course
especially for handbags, I was already advanced on CLO3D
so, I took 12 hours lesson. I generally work on CLO3D for clothing projects,

however even the course is taught through Handbag construction, the skills that I learned could be applied to any kind of work on CLO3D and it did!  I learned a lot!
She was sending training videos and file folders couple days before each class

and then on the day of the training we were going through each project step by step.

She was patient and supportive. I highly recommend taking her class.
