About Fashion Design, BA (Hons) - at Leeds Arts University

Discover your own design aesthetic and create a fashion collection and portfolio that showcases your individual energy and talents. This practice-based degree course embraces the diversity of fashion design in the 21st century.

Join a community of passionate students, all focussed on becoming informed fashion-design thinkers. You will explore the context of historical and contemporary fashion alongside broader factors that influence fashion design, including global fashion narratives, gender, sustainable practice, and ethics.

As a result of our connections with the fashion industry, you will benefit from inspirational visiting speakers, live projects and industry visits. Access to these exclusive activities demonstrates the esteem in which this course is held and our ability to produce ‘industry-ready’ graduates.

These established relationships enhance your portfolio and increase your awareness of the expectations of potential employers. Working with partners such as the British Fashion Council’s ‘Colleges Council’ and Graduate Fashion Week we offer opportunities to enter competitions, attend insightful seminars and presentations, and showcase your work on a variety of external industry platforms.

Using the latest technologies, from Mac suites to CAD and Adobe software, our staff support you to realise your designs. Our dedicated teaching team encourages practice-based skills from developing initial sketches and ideas into patterns then being realised into garments using industry standard equipment in our studios. We help you cultivate the attitude and skills needed to succeed as a professional fashion practitioner.

Our established relationships with the fashion industry offer you the opportunity to enhance your portfolio and increase your awareness of the professional attitudes expected by potential employers. Working with partners we offer opportunities to enter high profile competitions, attend seminars/presentations and showcase your work on a variety of platforms.
