Can a male study fashion design?

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to study fashion design in order to become a fashion designer and design clothing compliant with the Sharī’ah. This includes clothing that properly covers all required parts of the body, is not tight fitting, is not see-through, does not resemble the clothing of the opposite gender, and does not imitate the clothing of the non-Muslims and immoral people.

And Allāh knows best.
