BA (Hons) Fashion
Fashion students challenge the conventions of contemporary fashion creating their own design philosophies, creative identities, and ideas for a responsible fashion future that are aligned to their professional ambitions. They explore and encapsulate the moving body through pattern cutting, print and knit, and design and craft meaningful, authentic fashion that is grounded in research and design thinking, informed by our programme’s heritage of craftsmanship and reputation for industry relevant design.

With a strong foundation of fashion design and construction skills, Fashion Design and Marketing students are challenged to discover emerging trends and develop fashion products through design and making, delivering to future customers through creative marketing strategies. Thought-provoking enterprise solutions are promoted through branding, graphics and photography and justified through an extensive research report and marketing plan.
BA (Hons) Fashion Communication
Fashion Communication students explore the communication of fashion through the written word, images and experiences, investigating the visual, intellectual and cultural demands of an ever-changing society and dynamic fashion and media audience. They imagine and create new spaces and formats in which to experience Fashion, through experimental narrative and vision.
The Class of 2022 have responded to the increasingly complex world around us to offer relevant, sustainable and experiential product offerings. Our students use global fashion insights to build their concepts, leading to the development, realisation and promotion of apparel, accessories and experiences that appeal to the new world consumer and that embrace design values of integrity and responsibility.
Our students’ portfolios this year not only celebrate their unique, creative identity and direction, but also how they have navigated the challenges facing them to find new ways of working, living, and creating and sharing fashion. Portfolios and collections explore Otherness, Sailing and Seafaring, biodegradable knit lingerie, the duality of the South Asian diaspora, traditional Japanese abstract sculptural forms, hysteria and unconscious bias, escapism, re-connection, and an optimistic insight to fashion’s new beginnings.
We invite you to enjoy their vision of the future of fashion.
