What the college says

Fashion and Textiles at FUS is a vibrant and challenging course which aims to provide students with a diverse skill set and awareness of career opportunities post Sixth Form study. We encourage independent personal research and self-expression. Students develop their ideas based around exciting themes and respond to live project briefs, including the national ‘British Style Collective’ annual Young Designer Competition. Our course allows students to develop an awareness of the fashion and textiles industry through visits to prominent exhibitions, craft spaces and universities, reflecting on how designers are inspired by the world around us. Visiting artists, recent graduates and practical workshops are a regular feature of the course which enables strong networks with local and national artists, designers and makers.
