CONTEMPORARY FASHION DESIGN

Contemporary Fashion Design is a dynamic practice-based course that explores a breadth of current themes and issues from inclusivity to adaptable fashion. Centred around the exciting possibilities of adorning the body and exploring materials, you will learn about the fundamentals of designing and understanding the role that fashion plays in the wider society.

Working with external partners within Liverpool's Fabric District and wider communities, the programme provides an environment that enables rich interdisciplinary approaches exploring how fashion and regenerative practices can improve and enhance people's lives and address the challenges of our times.

The course focuses on ‘expanded fashion concepts’, the wider disciplines which surround and support the industry such as brand awareness, styling, image making and promotion. These areas offer an opportunity to specialise and produce a bespoke portfolio which are linked to career opportunities and industry expectations.

During your studies you will be taught by established practitioners and have access to a vast range of equipment, workshops and studio spaces here at the Creative Campus. As a combined honours Degree, this programme offers an exciting opportunity to combine your fashion practice with other subjects, which will influence your individual approach to fashion and can be tailored to individual interests.
