Fashion Design BA

“Doing Fashion” is the name of a holistic design practice that frames and defines the degree programme Fashion Design. “Doing Fashion” implies becoming involved and partaking in the shaping of the present as well future in a responsible and sustainable manner. The aim is to create alternative spaces in the field of fashion design and develop ideas that go beyond the conventional understanding of fashion. Through practice-based experience and by way of understanding the complex relationship between body perception and design, fashion becomes comprehensible and explainable in all its aesthetic, sensuous, and social functions. Fashion is understood as part of an everyday culture that adopts a critical stance towards social change and trends and has the power to guide them in a desirable direction.
