Reasons to study Fashion Textiles and Accessories at DMU
- Develop specialist design and production knowledge in fashion textiles, including print, knit and mixed media
- Expertise in the design and manufacture of fashion accessories including bag and luggage concepts, body adornment, and fashion jewellery
- Exceptionally well equipped workshops - plastics, wood, metal, ceramics, glass, laser cutting, water jet cutting and leather working specialist equipment
The course will give you an opportunity to design and realise innovative fashion textiles and fashion artefacts. You will explore image, placement, colour, scale and textile materials in the broadest fashion context possible throughout the course. You will also be exposed to a wide range of textile and accessory design elements including:
- Knitted textiles
- Digital, machine and hand-made stitch/embellishment
- Fabric manipulation
- Print (screen and digital)
- 3D design and accessory product construction
- Material experimentation covering fabrics, leather, plastics, wood, metal etc
These elements are developed in context with the needs of the contemporary fashion industry, and complemented by instruction in the fundamentals of pattern cutting, garment design and accessory design. This will enable you to see how your designs work in 3D and to understand how they relate to the body. You will build a working knowledge of fashion design, but will ultimately be training to be a textile and/or accessory designer, developing the appropriate skills base for this.
Through this hybrid skills base that you will develop, you are encouraged to produce experimental and highly individual cutting edge creations to adorn the body. You will undertake a wide range of project briefs (internal, external and competition) as well as developing groundbreaking design work through self-negotiated briefs. Live projects are a key part of the course, as is professional practice investigation, which includes guidance in securing internships/placements and personal promotion and communication.
There is a strong emphasis on concept development, visual research and design interpretation. All design work is underpinned by access to a diverse range of well equipped textiles, product and fashion workshops, CAD suites and studios.
