Bachelor of Design Arts: Fashion & Costume Design

Our Fashion & Costume Design program offers training that will ensure you are mainstream industry-ready and employable. Design principles and exercises are central to the program. Students learn about applied design processes from idea generation to the creation of mood boards and storyboards that address design briefs, contextual factors, and trend forecasts. Fabric appreciation, manipulation, and handling are part of this learning. Students gain an understanding of commercial manufacturing, logistics, and distribution, supported by an insight into the power of marketing and the importance of branding.
