Liverpool Hope University

Liverpool , England ,United Kingdom

Contemporary Fashion Design and Religious Studies BA

The fashion industry is worth c £62BN to the UK economy and consistently employs some 400,000 people. However, there are powerful changes afoot in the industry around the world that seek to address the environmental damage; exploitative business models and employment conditions that are so often attached to it - especially so in 'fast fashion'.  There is also a growing awareness across the industry of the need for the design of clothing and accessories that are inclusive; a need to embrace fashion design for disability with 'adaptive fashion.'  Liverpool Hope's BA 'Contemporary Fashion Design' will be the first undergraduate option to study these concerns and become the first dedicated undergraduate 'fashion with a conscience' programme available in the UK HEI sector.

Contemporary Fashion Design will be centred around the body; materials and an understanding and knowledge of sustainable and ethical living. The diversity of our workshops - which range from traditional technologies through to our digital Fab Lab - will ensure a diversity of production and design around the fundamentals of tactility and materiality.

Ethical production - the exploration of materials and low waste production methodologies - will be core to the programme providing students with an understanding of sustainability and ethical living - in short, fashion design for a healthier future.

The programme will provide an environment that enables rich interdisciplinary approaches at undergraduate level which will include working on live briefs and competitions and engaging in established links
