The catwalk, the models, the shows... the world of fashion is exhilarating, rewarding and hard work. This course can help you be a part of it, by taking you through the design process to produce catwalk-ready collections that showcase your talent and demonstrate your technical ability.
You’ll cover everything from designing, garment construction including fashion drawing and illustration, style forecasting and marketing.

We work with a panel of well-respected people from within the fashion and textiles industry to ensure that our course keeps up-to-date with the expectations of the workplace. As a result, Somerset College students are successful at securing employment upon completion of their studies, and often leave College with an enviable profile in their chosen sector.
Recent graduates have gone on to jobs in design, retail management, buying and fashion promotion. They’ve worked with employers including Courtaulds, Abercrombie and Fitch, Sassi Holford, Fat Face, Debenhams Fashion Design team, Ashley Isham, Miss Selfridge, Next, New Look Design Team, Peacock’s buying team and Vivienne Westwood.
