B.A. (Hons) Fashion Design<br />
Today’s fashion designer must not only bear witness to the industrial, political <strong>and</strong><br />
socio-economical conditions around them, they must interpret those trends into clothing that<br />
respond to the aesthetic <strong>and</strong> functional needs <strong>of</strong> an ever complex <strong>and</strong> expansive marketplace.<br />
<strong>The</strong> B.A (Hons) degree in Fashion Design programme is <strong>of</strong>fered as a four year course <strong>of</strong> study.<br />
Originality <strong>and</strong> flair are emphasized within a framework <strong>of</strong> good design <strong>and</strong> sound production<br />
techniques. In their first year, students learn the basics <strong>of</strong> art <strong>and</strong> design from which to project<br />
their own creative talent. On the second level, they learn all areas <strong>of</strong> garment production<br />
encountered in a pr<strong>of</strong>essional atelier: pattern drafting, draping, fashion drawing, colour story<br />
development, presentation, illustration, <strong>and</strong> the realization <strong>of</strong> the finished garment.<br />
On the third <strong>and</strong> fourth levels, students learn advanced studio skills as well as designing for<br />
specific markets, textile arts, fashion computing <strong>and</strong> basic marketing principals. Participation<br />
with local designers <strong>and</strong> manufacturers in client driven projects prepare students for the<br />
challenges faced in the real world <strong>of</strong> design. <strong>The</strong> programme culminates in a fashion show <strong>of</strong><br />
fourth-year student work presented before fashion pr<strong>of</strong>essionals <strong>and</strong> the press.<br />
