Here's what Chichester College Group (inc Brinsbury, Chichester, Crawley, Northbrook & Worthing Colleges) says about its Fashion Design course.

Find your flair and forge your future in fashion. This employment-focused degree offers a boutique educational experience, nurturing your individual creativity while equipping you with the technical, analytical, and entrepreneurial skills needed for a successful career in the global fashion industry.

Course information On this degree, you’ll explore how to make responsible choices for sustainable fashion while developing the creative and technical skills needed to succeed in the fashion industry.

You’ll learn essential skills such as illustration, design, pattern cutting, sewing, garment making, and printed textiles. From 2D and 3D techniques, you’ll delve into creative pattern cutting, garment construction, tailoring, and textile printing. You’ll also become proficient in using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to develop your ideas, build your portfolio, and create professional presentations.

The course emphasises slow fashion, focusing on sustainable practices such as using ethical fabrics, sourcing end-of-roll materials to reduce textile waste, and designing made-to-measure garments that ensure longevity and emotional connection. You’ll also gain experience working with innovative materials like cactus-based vegan leather, supported by industry collaborations with brands such as Desserto in Italy, in partnership with PETA UK.

Throughout the degree, you’ll take part in live industry briefs and exciting design projects, preparing you for your final year. In your last year, you’ll create a full collection of fashion pieces to demonstrate your skills and prepare for a career in the fashion industry.
