Our dynamic, practice-based course has been created to produce leaders in the field of fashion media and communication. Students will engage with new and emerging technologies to envision, plan and design fashion environments, experiences, events and installations.

Innovation is central to the course, and graduates will be equipped with the skills, methods and professional confidence to push boundaries and forge new ways of working in the creative industries.

Course overview

MA Fashion Media and Communication is a ground-breaking practice-based course that challenges the sector and seeks to develop agile, innovative, creative leaders for emerging and future roles in industry.

This dynamic course is radically transdisciplinary in its approach to the creating and learning process. Here, existing disciplinary boundaries are traversed and different areas of practice come together to form emergent disciplines and build new models of making that are native to the project at hand and the present now in which they arise.

As a course that is actively future-focused it is aimed at those who want to disrupt existing approaches to fashion media and communication. Through design thinking, prototyping and entrepreneurship you will craft innovative and agile creative practices equipped and able to intervene in the challenges of our times to facilitate meaningful change.

You will explore the opportunities offered by emerging and advanced technologies for the envisioning, planning and design of extended reality environments and experiences. This includes investigating AI, gaming and platform systems, hybridised fashion experiences, community building and curatorial interventions, as well as strategic and speculative initiatives. As the rate of technological, social, and climate change continues to intensify, the demand for design professionals with technical, creative, critical and agile skillsets has never been greater.

Positioned at the intersection of this new paradigm, MA Fashion Media and Communication furnishes you with the skills, methods and professional confidence to push boundaries and innovate approaches to creative practice. Working with LCF’s pioneering research centres and creative labs you will engage with an expansive range of media, methods and contexts. In addition to developing the creative, technical and soft skills, you will strengthen your critical capacities through practice. You will learn contemporary organisational and workflow methods such as project management, system logistics and social engagement.

The MA comprises three sequential stages – Explore, Situate, Integrate – and a series of distinct practice-based units that blend individual and group work through a combination of rapid ‘sprint’ briefs and in-depth investigations. You will engage with diverse theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches that inform and enrich experiential design thinking and practice. Through a range of methods and approaches, the course is designed to guide you towards an individual critical position, informing your future transdisciplinary design practice.

On graduation you will work in emerging fields such as experiential design, creative direction, organisation design, community management, design research and innovation, design insight, strategy and futurology.
