BA Fashion Design comprises five pathways: Womenswear, Menswear, Knit, Print, and Communication. We encourage collaboration at every stage, and throughout the course you will work on projects with the other courses and with students of the BA Fashion Communication course.  As a program we encourage students to break down all societal barriers and perceptions when describing gender and identity. We embrace a non-gendered approach. 



On the BA Fashion Design Communication pathway, students learn how to express creative ideas using the body as a foundation. While on the course, students understand how to develop a creative identity and how to communicate that within their practice uniquely. Their work could fit within a multitude of creative fields, such as an exhibition, a book, a zine launch, a club night, a fashion presentation, or a catwalk. Students are encouraged to develop their design vision, become confident at communicating ideas visually on paper and through engaging with digital software, tools and platforms, and learn how to express their creativity from 2d into 3d engineered conception.



BA Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins is globally renowned. The course has an excellent staff team of highly experienced practitioners and researchers with international profiles who come from diverse backgrounds and remain connected to their industry and are at the forefront of fashion. Students are innovators, critical thinkers, and trailblazers and thrive within the lively and dynamic art school environment that differentiates fashion at CSM from other fashion courses. Students learn through different experiences as a community, they are encouraged to connect, working with peers and industry to strengthen their learning, understanding, and opportunities. 



In the Central Saint Martins Fashion Programme, we work to be at the heart of the debate about the future of fashion. Learning is our core purpose and our research, industry and external relationships enrich our approach. We are committed to reflecting and influencing the sustainable transformation of the industry.  Social, racial and climate justice are our core values and we believe in a fairer world for all. 



Our outlook responds to decolonising the curriculum agendas by focusing on inclusive and diverse fashion pedagogical thinking and practices that reflect the international nature of our community and global fashion systems. We believe we must constantly challenge ourselves to shape ethical approaches in creative practice.
