4 Years B Des Fashion Design Course

Focusing primarily on fashion, fashion history and context, the overall content emphasises the appreciation of context and meaning in design, whilst providing concepts of fashion evolution and design adaptation. The content in the programme includes theoretical and practical design aspects; the emphasis is placed on research and critical thinking, introducing students to the body of knowledge that supports achievement within a higher education learning environment.

Learners are encouraged to record and analyse the key drivers which influence fashion globally, including ecological, environmental, ethical, technological and aesthetic factors.

Students learn about historical and contemporary artists and designers and prepare presentations illustrating how this work inspires and influences current fashion, lifestyle and culture. They are expected to challenge and develop methods of fashion forecasting and directional influences and develop a creative uniqueness by exploring the design process through specific projects.

Establishing individuality in generating concepts, developing design ideas and creating a personal visual language is fundamental to successfully achieving required outcomes in the programme and therefore learners are encouraged to develop initiatives and perception through personal expression and enquiry and utilise their progress to develop creative potential and personal style.
