Fashion Design MA

Working to design briefs that present exciting and challenging opportunities to develop and extend your skills – and in response to new developments in the industry or new potentialities - fashion design classes will be supported and sometimes fluidly integrated with practical workshop sessions that enhance your understanding of the design process (in 2D and 3D), and how to both innovate and refine your ideas for specific markets and/or local or global imperatives. In this way, you will cultivate your skills as a critical fashion design practitioner that is equipped with the problem-solving abilities required to address foreseen and unforeseen challenges and opportunities.As the course progresses, emphasis is placed increasingly upon your design vision and your practice-based research, as you extend and refine your personal design identity and develop a personal design manifesto. The course culminates in a substantial dissertation project that may comprise a small, capsule collection supported by a written dissertation.
