This new programme will concentrate on innovation, forecasting and analysis of forward and future predicted markets. Students will be challenged by design opportunities as they might exist 10 or 20 years in the future, and will be asked to explore an anthropomorphic approach to trend analysis. This programme embraces innovation in fashion, identity, image, colour, prediction and forecasting.
Semester A of the BA Fashion Futures is the same as both other BA Fashion programmes; BA Fashion Design, and BA Fashion Design with Marketing (4yrs). Students work together on a range of introductory modules, where all aspects of the programmes can be experienced. Staff offer assistance and tutorial advice with programme choices.
There are many Fashion Degree Programmes that offer a wide range of study experience, but this programme is unique in that it offers the opportunity to:
Be totally involved with fashion
Understand current fashion trends and how they happen
Predict future trends and the consumer groups who will adopt them
Put together two dimensional imagery that visualises your predictions
Research and analyse current fashion trends
Understand the methods of data collection
Become proficient in a range of digital technology and photography - to assist you with visual presentation of work
Interact with various consumer groups – where they are and who they are
Students are selected on their suitability for the programme by a portfolio interview. Applicants would normally have completed an Art and Design Foundation, GAD, or an appropriate BTEC, GNVQ or Access programme of at least one year's duration prior to joining the programme. Students with other relevant professional or life experience will also be considered.
Applicants should normally have GCSE Grade C (minimum) in English and 4 other subjects.
