Fashion Design

Fashion expresses our values, culture and society. More importantly, it influences and shapes them.

On the BA Fashion Design degree at Cardiff Met, you will explore your individual talents through the professional design process, which creates freedom with constraints and reflectivity with spontaneity.

Our Fashion Design course embeds originality and risk taking right into the design process, from concept to final product, with consideration for commercial viability and creativity at its core.
