Course overview
The fashion industry is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise that has a huge impact on our world today. The benefits are vast, and a great industry giant such as fashion needs innovators who think beyond the structural norms that have followed fashion design through time. We will teach you to understand the historical context of the creative industries so that you can become innovators and disruptors for the greater advancement of fashion design itself.
With an eye on sustainability, ethical materials, cultural awareness and diversity in our society, you can become fashion designers of influence and fledgling stars in a highly saturated market. We encourage you to be different and harness your own creative diversity. We'll give you tools that will prepare you for the wider fashion industry and knowledge of how you can progress on your journey.
