INTRODUCTION - Ravensbourne Ghanaat Pishen FOURTEEN FIFTEEN Merlyn Koh Elena Damyanova SIXTEEN...

I N T R O D U C T I O N The award-winning BA (Hons) Fashion course at Ravensbourne offers a unique learning opportunity where essential traditional skills are applied to new and emerging technologies. We believe in giving students exposure to the latest , most relevant technologies available within fashion. As a mark of our commitment to innovation, Ravensbourne is a ‘privileged partner’ of Lectra, the most widely used fully integrated 3D CAD/CAM programme in the fashion industry globally. 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 2017, 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 Truman Brewery and four were awarded prize-money to support their final collections.

Another exciting project was a live brief with one of London’s brightest talents, womenswear designer Roksanda. The prize was a six-month internship to work on Roksanda’s current and future collections. Impressed by the creative and technical ability of our students, five internships were offered.

A work placement is an integral part of the learning experience at Ravensbourne. Students typically secure intern ships at prestigious brands such as Viktor & Rolf, AF Vandervost, Haider Ackermann, Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, Hussein Chalayan, Christopher Kane, Calvin Klein among many world-leading brands.

Our alumni continue to shine with the recent news that Clare Waight Keller is taking over the reins at Givenchy and past graduates are designing and heading teams at prestigious brands such as Oscar De La Renta, Reiss, Celine, Stella McCartney, Joseph, Burberry, Mulberry, Max Mara, River Island, TopMan/TopShop and ACNE.

We hope that you enjoy this taste of the collections produced by our 2017 graduates.
