Fashion Branding & Creative Communication

The ability to style and promote fashion brands, design campaigns and publications and market fashion events creatively and effectively, form the basis of the Fashion Branding and Creative Communication course. With extensive connections to industry, easy access to London and more tutor time than most fashion courses, we help our students realise their creative potential. The course will engage students with a wide variety of subject areas from styling, photography, art direction and trend prediction to branding, PR and fashion marketing. This leads to in-depth exploration of one of these subjects in the final year. Led by Carolyn Timson, former Vice President of Design at Tommy Hilfiger, this contemporary, creative yet career-focused programme is designed to develop the skills, innovation and vision necessary for the fast-moving world of fashion branding and communications.
