Hear from our Students / Graduates

"Being an international student from Myanmar, I really enjoy the level of individuality and expression made available. I love my individuality and my ability to express it through fashion."

"Fashion Design for me is about translating an inspiration into something wearable. This inspiration could be a colour, shape, smell or taste. As a design student, I learnt fashion through the re-combination of fabrics, cutting, sewing, finishing to the finest details."
