This course is designed for prospective students who are interested in establishing their own menswear brand.
You are required to have a BA in a fashion subject or a significant amount of industry experience. Additionally, you must have an awareness of the international marketplace and your positioning within it to launch your brand upon successful completion of the course.
The project-based curriculum has two core modules that are progressively designed to develop your confidence in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary context. These projects aim to encourage imaginative, practical and theoretical knowledge.
Our graduates have gone on to enjoy a range of roles in places such as Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Adidas and Charles Jeffrey among others. Some have also set up their own businesses. Notable alumni include Priya Ahluwalia, winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Award 2021, winner of the shared LVMH Prize 2020, New Generation prize 2019 and H&M Prize 2018, Mateo Velazquez, finalist at Hyeres 2021, and San Kim, whose inflatable garment design went viral in 2019.
Based at our dedicated Arts campus at Harrow, we have outstanding industry-level facilities and equipment, a broad range of networking opportunities and visiting industry practitioners as guest lecturers.
Careers:
This course brings together people who have significant industry experience and are interested in establishing their own menswear brand. Students must be prepared to launch their brand upon successful completion of the course.
Students have the option of studying the one-year course (Menswear MA), which allows them to develop their own clothing brand or the two-year option (Menswear with Professional Experience MFA), which includes a placement year in the industry. The University has strong links with the sector and students often find internships and employment opportunities.
In the past, the course has benefitted from visiting lecturers such as Charles Jeffrey, Rotting Dean Bazaar, Ben Reardon and companies such as Adidas and Martine Rose.
A minimum of an upper second class honours degree (2:1) or a lower second class honours degree (2:2) in fashion, textiles or design-related subject areas and substantial relevant work experience. Applicants are required to submit a portfolio; if this does not contain sufficient menswear content, applicants will then be required to create a virtual portfolio of three design projects that best evidence individual inspiration and how this is developed through the process of designing. Applicants will also need to identify in writing a specific area of personal interest that they believe will create a positive contribution to the menswear industry and which they envisage studying in depth whilst on the course.
