BA (Hons) Fashion Lookbook 2018 LR_REF_ONLY-FashionLookBook-FashionDesign_2

The award-winning BA (Hons) Fashion course at Ravensbourne
offers a unique learning opportunity where essential tradi­
tional skills are applied to new and emerging technologies.
All students leave as well-rounded designers specialising in
menswear or womenswear with the skills necessary to
compete in the fashion industry.
From the outset, students work on industry-led project
briefs, design competitions and live projects. In 2018, we were
honoured to work on a design project for global denim group,
VF Corporation encompassing Timberland, Wrangler, Lee and
North Face. Students exhibited the results of the project at
the Bargehouse, London and four were awarded prize-money
to support their final collections.
Another exciting project was an international live brief with
one of Paris’s brightest talents, designer Haider Ackermann.
The prize was a six-month internship to work on Ackermann’s
current and future collections.
Work placement is an integral part of the learning experience
at Ravensbourne. Students typically secure internships
at prestigious brands such as Givenchy, Viktor & Rolf, AF
Vandervost, Haider Ackermann, Anne Demeulemeester,
Mary Katrantzou, Craig Green, Peter Pilotto, Hussein Chalayan,
Christopher Kane, Calvin Klein, among many world-
leading brands.
Our alumni continue to shine with Clare Waight Keller creative
director at Givenchy and other past graduates heading teams
at prestigious brands such as Oscar De La Renta, Reiss, Celine,
Stella McCartney, Joseph, Burberry, Mulberry, Reiss, Max Mara,
Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, Ports1961, TopMan/TopShop, ASOS,
Nike and ACNE. We hope you enjoy the collections produced
by our 2018 graduates.
