The Fashion MA programme asks for a disruptive critical approach, leading to new aesthetics and responses about the practice and industry of fashion.
Join a Master’s programme looking to reform the dominant fashion paradigm. We shift the focus from making clothes to concerning ourselves with the environment, social responsibility, and geopolitical and economic challenges.
Fashion is designed, articulated, manipulated and simulated in both physical and digital spaces. It is at its best when guided by diversity, inclusivity and cultural awareness. At the RCA, we invite you to examine the systems and structures of fashion. We’re looking for individuals open to new and emerging ways of thinking.
You will have the opportunity to reflect on, discuss and strengthen your authentic identity and help others do the same. You’ll learn to do this with an awareness of how our values are embedded in our outputs.
You’ll have opportunities to engage with peers across platforms throughout your studies. You’ll also participate in the School of Design’s interdisciplinary Grand Challenge to collaboratively develop projects that anticipate and respond to key societal concerns.
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall. We want students who wish to articulate new perspectives, develop their imagination and advance an enquiry about their discipline, practice and industry. You’ll be self-motivated, determined critical thinkers and passionate about their discipline, as well as technically curious and independent.
