fashion industry links

Many of the fashion modules that you will study are taught in conjunction with a fashion industry partner to ensure that students gain an understanding of all aspects of the fashion marketplace.

This year we have been working in conjunction with Ben Sherman on a first year shirt design module. Second year design students have undertaken a design project for Abercrombie & Fitch as well as a design project for Coast. Some of the students work was of such high standard that it has now gone into production and will shortly be stocked across the country.

We also have an industrial advisory panel made up of top industry representatives from Miss Sixty, Oasis, Paul Smith, Eley Kishimoto amongst others.

Finally we have a number of visitors from the fashion industry and studio visits where students visit top designers in their studios to see first hand the design process up close. Recent visitors include Aitor Throup, Carrie Mundane, Basso & Brooke, Preen and Sophie Dean.
