This course offers you a challenging and dynamic opportunity to develop the relevant skills and knowledge required to springboard you into the global fashion and related industries.
Through personalised and collaborative project work, you will learn to integrate research, design ideas, technology and theory to develop directional and contemporary fashion design concepts.
Curiosity: Creative Exploration and Research:
This module explores core design components: concept, drawing, materials, colour and future thinking. You will be encouraged to question how fundamental aspects of design practice and theory can be used as both research tools and as a means to develop your design identity in a creative, explorative and hands on way. You will work with students across the department and begin to identify your future direction.
Curiosity: Creative Development and Application for Fashion Design:
Through a series of workshops you will apply your creative design ideas to practical and creative fashion design skills, such as, pattern cutting, 2D to 3D design development, CAD and fashion illustration. You will also build an awareness of core issues relating to design responsibility, sustainability and ethics.
You will also explore a range of manufacturing techniques including within fashion accessory design so that you can explore a broader range of materials and fashion products. You will have the opportunity to have taster workshops in Fashion Knitwear Design and Knitted Textiles in fabric development and manufacturing processes. There is an option to transfer to this course should you decide that this area of fashion is for you.
