What you'll study
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.
The curriculum reflects current industry practice and includes in-depth broad-ranging visual research / concept development, material awareness, design development, creative pattern cutting, garment manufacture, prototyping / product development, fashion drawing / illustration, visual communication, sustainability and future thinking.
- Year One
- Year Two
- Final year
Curiosity: Creative Exploration and Research
(40 credit points, full year)
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
(80 credit points, full year)
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.
Directions: Industry and Context for Fashion Design
(40 credit points, first half of the year)
Through an industry led project you will develop your creative thinking and technical skills through tailoring, pattern cutting, construction, manufacturing and finishing techniques for fabric and leather. You will also develop and deepen your skills and knowledge of emerging cultural issues, including responsible design practice, visual, market and contextual research.
Live projects will challenge you to respond to commercial briefs in teams where you will enhance your employability skills through the practice of verbal and visual skills.
Directions: Innovation and Transition for Fashion Design
(40 credit points, second half of the year)
By developing your own personalised and negotiated briefs you will build on your design and research skills through the application of advanced techniques and the selection of individual research topics, methods and methodologies. You will negotiate your own design brief and undertake primary and secondary research to develop meaningful design concepts that respond to theory, contemporary cultural contexts and issues.
This module supports your transition to final year, enhancing your ability to develop individual research proposals that reflect personal design interests and building on theory and practice. You will extend and test innovative approaches to your specialist textile area, working beyond discipline boundaries where appropriate.
Co Lab: Research, Exploration and Risk-Taking
(20 credit points, second half of the year)
Through active participation with team-based problem solving, you will work together in mixed teams on a project where you will use your creative ideas to generate solutions to the challenge or brief. Your project will allow you to explore how creativity can make an impact in society, as you choose a theme of sustainability, social justice, enterprise and innovation or community. This collaborative learning experience will expose you to a range of new processes and approaches that will develop your creative thinking and willingness to take creative risks.
Optional module
(20 credit points, first half of the year)
Personalise your learning, selecting a module that develops your awareness of possible professional futures you may wish to engage with. Study with students from the creative community in the School of Art and Design to expand your horizons, challenge ways of thinking and facilitate potential future collaborations. Choose from:
- Material Stories
- Responding to the Visual World
- Telling Stories
- Typography: Use and Expression
- Publishing: Experimental Formats
- Buying, Merchandising and Product Fundamentals
- Trend Forecasting
Resolutions: Culture and Context
(20 / 40 credit points, the full year)
Develop an individual research concept established at the end of second year that advances your knowledge of contextual issues, cultural theories and debates. You will present this as a dissertation or in the alternative format of a visual product. Students choosing the 40 credit option will complete an extended body of research work for exhibition or publication.
Resolutions: Practice and Context for Fashion Design
(100 / 80 credit points, the full year)
You will write your own design brief informed by your emerging design intersts through which you will develop a professional portfolio and collection of work relating to your career aspirations. This will communicate your creative design thinking and decision-making through selecting a pathway of either: fashion collection where you will create a four-outfit collection for a catwalk show, or fashion product for exhibition. The year will include opportuntiies to engage with external contexts through live projects, competitions, or professional bodies and will culminate in showcasing your collection/product and portfolio to a range of audiences and providing opportunities for your ongoing personal and professional development.
You will have opportunities to engage with live projects, competitions and professional bodies to broaden your portfolio and strategically enhance career directions.
