Description:

There is an increased need to visually communicate fashion-based concepts and this requires a new designer who has a clear understanding of and experience in designing fashion concepts, understanding and dealing with the associated critical pathways and the practical means by which to communicate. On this new course, you will be encouraged to critically evaluate and creatively respond to these new conditions and define your own new role within fashion. You will be interested in the way fashion is consumed (beyond wearing it) and the opportunities this presents for developing innovative visual practice based design work. Fashion is changing due to many external factors such as new digital platforms/media, and issue led issues such as sustainability. There are also changes in the role fashion plays and how it has become increasingly an exciting area for inter-disciplinary exploration within design, culture and society. At the heart of this are the new ways that fashion is becoming explored, extended, designed and consumed. We will develop you to be a highly creative fashion visionary individual, with an emphasis to engage, explore, question, visualise, illustrate, develop and communicate fashion concepts, trends, products and ideas through publication, exhibition, art direction and styling.
