MA Fashion

MA Fashion at Central Saint Martins has an established reputation for preparing students with the experience and confidence needed to practice professionally at the forefront of fashion. While holding a consistent track record for its entrepreneurial culture as one of the foremost incubators of emerging design talent worldwide, the MA Fashion also leads to continuing study for research degrees and those pursuing careers in academia. We are committed to supporting pluriversal approaches to teaching and learning where students from diverse, social, and cultural identities are brought together as one community of multiple voices. Our students share and gain knowledge within a project-based environment that focuses on transformative experience and expanding learning, aims, and development within Fashion Design practice as the core subject of study. We see authenticity and accountability at the core of our student engagement. The programme of study will actively encourage you to be responsible and resourceful with the processes and materials you choose for your project work and to support UAL's climate emergency work through upcycling whenever appropriate and to consider minimising costs wherever possible.As our student, the dialogue you will enter with your peers, tutors, and practitioners will define your understanding of learning and un-learning and support you to reflect on, strengthen, and trust your values, perspectives, and identity in practice. Commitment to enquiry and exploring themes, fields, and collaborations that nourish your development is encouraged. You will demonstrate research activity sustaining exploration and development and dig deeper into fields of interest, specifically your proposed specialist area. Your awareness of societal changes, the physical and digital contexts in which your work can exist, and how you produce garments, and source and generate materials, will spur opportunities for originality and innovation. You will team up with peers independently or for curriculum-embedded interactions and live briefs with other disciplines in the College and external partners. These provide common grounds to create and exchange knowledge to (re) imagine shared and better futures.
