This dynamic course will encourage you to take a creative approach to fashion branding with communication, and develop an individual practice that is underpinned by a social, cultural, political and ethical awareness of this global industry. You will explore a diverse range of evolving theories and practices that underpin fashion branding, and have opportunities to develop skills in: creative direction and styling, image making, editorial copy, advertising, exhibition design and styling, fashion films, visual merchandising and experiential campaigns. With new technologies increasingly influencing the industry, you’ll study futurology and investigate theories to apply to augmented and virtual reality, mobile technology user interface design, and digital and social media platform communications that will turn such future-facing ideas into reality. There will be opportunities to work collaboratively with students on other courses. You will have contact with industry through opportunities such as visiting speakers, live projects, industry briefs and competitions to ensure that you develop professional skills.

Year One — You will study multiple branding theories, concepts, processes, creative communication tools and applications employed by the industry, including historical contexts, fashion culture, visual language, and consumerism. You will start developing your own voice, ideas and creative practice through individual and group projects. Research skills, lateral thinking and creative imagination are central to all units. Year Two — You further develop your skills with a specific focus on future concepts and innovative, creative branding strategies. Exploration of applied theories to digital applications, social media platforms and multi-platform branding will further enhance your approach to branding and communication. Creative concept development will be supported through the study of consumers’ shifting relationship with brands and luxury, the emergence of new global consumption communities, online communication and identity formation, and trend forecasting of styles and ideas. Live projects and competitions will expand your external contacts and enhance your professionalism, confidence, experience and employability. Year Three — You will consolidate your in-depth knowledge of developing fashion branding strategies and communication campaigns to produce a creative and professional portfolio. The self-directed final year takes a holistic approach through a body of research that is supported by reflective and critical writing. This culminates in the realisation of a graduate folio which reflects your individual philosophy and career aspirations as a fashion branding professional and creative thinker/communicator.
