The Sustainable Fashion Design course opens many opportunities in the fashion design industry. Sustainable Fashion Design students focus on designing and making sustainable clothing for the circular economy. Design for circular fashion involves designing garments with the planet and climate in mind and focuses on ideals of longevity, durability and planning for the life cycle of the garment.
Pattern drafting and garment construction provide the learner with the skills required to make their own outfits based on their own designs. All coursework combines to form a portfolio suitable for application to Degree programmes, although most of our students choose to progress to our Advanced Fashion Design course.
