About this course

Fashion at Kingston School of Art combines industry standards with a creative and contemporary approach to design. You will be encouraged to think creatively and apply your ideas and concepts to a series of briefs, some of which will be from industry sources and practitioners. Outcomes are non-prescriptive and will be driven by your own ambition and approach. You will examine the context and culture of fashion, engaging with social politics, economics, environments, sciences and technology futures. You will be able to specialise in womenswear, menswear, knitwear, digital or fashion artefact outcomes. Through your major project and portfolio, you will develop an unmistakable identity.
