What is fashion?Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by many people of a community or group. A fashion usually remains popular for about one to three years and then is replaced by yet another fashion.

Fashion design can be described as a form of art dedicated to the creation of clothing and other lifestyle accessories. Contemporary fashion design is divided into two basic categories: haute couture and ready-to-wear (RTW). Haute couture is dedicated to custom sized garments to fit individual customers. RTW collections are standard sized, not custom made, so they are more suitable for large production runs.

If you have flair and ambition, this new and innovative course will give you the professional skills you need to succeed in a wide range of roles within the international fashion industries. We build on your strengths, encourage your individual creativity and develop your design skills and creative awareness.

As part of the course, you have the opportunity to work on a number of exciting live projects working to professional design briefs. You also gain experience and exposure by entering national and international competitions.

You design and create your work in professionally equipped design studios and state-of-the-art fashion workshops that house digital garment manufacturing equipment, pattern-cutting software and flat-bed cutting equipment. You can also use the University’s wider creative facilities, including professional photography studios, printing facilities, and laser cutting technology.

In the second level you have the opportunity of work placements with some of the industry’s leading brands such as Debenhams, George, Jigsaw and Mamas and Papas. You can also apply for student internships with leading designers such as, Iris van Herpen, La Sensa, Cunnington and Sanderson, Reem, Animal, and Smythsons. Our students have also explored and experienced other areas of the industry with placements at Wonderland and Attitude magazines.

Your industry knowledge and skills are enhanced by organised events and study visits in London, Paris and New York as well as regular events across the UK.

The course culminates in showcasing your abilities with a collection of 2D and 3D work for your final exhibition.

This exhibition and your graduation portfolio proves your ability to deliver creative and original responses to complex design briefs, proving to employers that you can contribute to their design teams bringing insight to contemporary design practice and emerging production skills and standards.
