MA Fashion Artefact

This unique masters in fashion product design has an international reputation as a pioneering incubator for the creative designers and practitioners of the future. Students develop a range of contemporary products through various methodologies and critical thinking concerning the role of the body in relation to objects, as well as incorporating the social, cultural and economic. The course looks at the significance of craftsmanship, engagement with the role of an artifact and how that can impact upon future products within the context of the fashion industry.

The course title ‘MA Fashion Artefact’ is unique and is the only one of its kind offered in global education. The course facilitates and supports an array of manufacturing processes that cross over multiple design disciplines that historically would not sit within a fashion school, such as Industrial Design, Fine art, Metalwork and Animation. Therefore, sitting outside the framework for how fashion is perceived, students define what the industry is and how the industry will react.

The course supports and facilitates four key areas of continued areas of research and studio practice: Regional heritage and craftsmanship; Prosthetic design; Advanced manufacturing; Artefact as political voice.
