Fashion Accessory & Textile Futures

BA (HONS)2019

‘... a group of curious students, that are looking at the world with new eyes as they challenge the way we understand body adornment and materiality. With a great material library as a resource at Ravensbourne they are poised to take on the fashion and textiles industry and turn it on its head!’

‘We have a great relationship with the team at Ravensbourne and always jump at the chance to work with emerging designers at the university. Over the years we’ve provided live briefs and work placements to help talented creatives at Ravensbourne take their first steps in the world of design. Engaging students using real-life industry experience is a fantastic way to discover new design talent and nurture the next generation of creative thinkers.’
