Fashion Design with Business Studies BA(Hons)

Fashion Design with Business Studies BA(Hons)

The BA (Hons) Fashion with Business Studies course is a rare mix: combining highly creative design with business studies integrated throughout the whole student experience. This unique combination assists our graduates to become skilled and inspiring fashion practitioners with a real world understanding of the fashion industry. A year spent working in the industry during the third year opens them up to a wealth of experience and opportunities. This years’ graduates have already worked with an impressive range of international fashion designers and brands, giving each of them a first-hand understanding of what it means to work in this highly competitive and rewarding field.

This years’ Graduates have explored a wide range of subjects and creative concepts to produce highly creative collections with individuality, quality and craftsmanship at their heart.

In these un-precedented times, this has been an extreme challenge. As the impact of Covid-19 spread across the world, we witnessed this remarkable cohort of students move off campus into worldwide lockdown, at a critical time in their collection development and realization process.

The work they have gone onto produce and represented here, is a testament to their creative thinking, agility, resourcefulness and problem solving as well as a demonstration of their commitment to the subject, their own work and creative ideas.

This year more than ever, I am extremely proud that these graduates are able to identify, articulate and express their own aesthetic, place and position in the diverse and varied fashion industry.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate this years’ graduates on an impressive range and demonstration of creativity and skill and to express my gratitude and thanks to the dedicated and talented team of technical staff and academics who have guided, mentored and supported these students throughout the course and in particular during these challenging times.

Thank you also to the students’ amazing family and friends who have been there to provide financial and moral support throughout, I know how much this means to them all.

Congratulations and good luck to this remarkable Class of 2020, I wish you all the very best as you make the next steps on your journey into what I hope will be exciting and fulfilling careers.
