Master in Fashion Design

Fashion Design entails the ability to decipher what is ‘contemporary’ and translate it into meaningful and visionary manifestations. A design perspective in fashion means investigating different social, cultural, and environmental phenomena which together with sound experimentation and clever manipulation foster a unique creative identity, where the essential components of Fashion: ‘Poetic Charm’ and ‘Beauty’ are always preserved.

The Master in Fashion Design combines fashion studies and design thinking with extensive study and practice. Students will be taught to question, refine, and strengthen their creative vision as well as to tackle the challenge of designing for existing fashion brands. Students will be engaged in the exploration of other disciplines to produce outcomes that combine conceptualization, textile manipulation, garment prototyping, sustainability, branding, visual storytelling, and business intelligence. They will learn to understand the complexity of the fashion system, gaining a mature awareness of the various professions throughout its value chain, understanding that the value of fashion is not printed on the surface of a garment but it is in its function, wearability, inclusivity and ability to adapt to our contemporary needs.
