The course encourages, and enables, interaction and cross-disciplinary enquiry and applied creativity within contemporary art and design practice. We seek to develop heightened creative and analytical skills and extend your ability to challenge, question and propose innovative and new perspectives in international fashion design. You will be encouraged to develop a critical line of enquiry, exploring and developing design thinking. Emphasis will be placed on pushing existing boundaries in fashion design, utilising traditional, new and developing technologies.

The course incorporates a cross disciplinary ethos, developing new and innovative solutions that will direct the future of fashion.
