Students will be taught how to source and design for the future well being of the planet, whilst maintaining the innovation of the British fashion scene.
Issues around the sustainability, ethical and environmental impact of mass fashion production and manufacture, child labour, global supply chains and social and corporate responsibility of the fashion industry will be addressed along with learning how the trend and forecasting industry works, how to research and develop ideas to produce exciting fashion designs, explore materials and processes and develop skills for pattern cutting and manufacture, collections and exhibitions.
Course leader, Sian-Kate Mooney, who previously owned her own fashion business, said: “Mass manufacturing in the fashion industry has, I believe, got a poor reputation for environmental issues, as well as its treatment of its labour force.
Sustainability
is an increasingly important focus for the whole industry and needs talented, creative and knowledgeable people who can take sustainability from niche to high street.”
Students will be based in a new high specification fashion studio, with state of the art workshops and specialist facilities, in Bucks New University’s Red Shed building, at its campus in Queen Alexandra Road, High Wycombe, where its award willing BA (Hons) Textiles and Surface Design courses are also taught.
Sian-Kate Mooney, herself a talented sculpture artist who displays work nationally and internationally, owned her own fashion business for ten years, showing collections at London Fashion Week and Tranoï, part of Paris Fashion Weeks. The course leader also previously co-wrote a BA (Hons) Fashion Design degree at the University of East London (UEL) and is studying a PhD in Fine Art at The University of East London.
The new Fashion Design degree is part of a range of art and design-focused degree programmes currently being launched by Bucks New University for September 2013 to meet the requirements of the creative industries.
