The course focuses on evolution and radical change in design. You will explore how design is influenced by cultural, social, critical and historical studies.

 

You will develop your own signature style, experimenting across sketch work, 2D to 3D, knitwear and digital print in Kingston School of Art's workshops and dedicated fashion design studios. You will also have access to our working dress archive which includes pieces from 1750 to the present day, including the recently-acquired Sibling knitwear archive. Our curator also works closely with Bath Fashion Museum.
