The  Fashion MA  programme asks for a disruptive critical approach, leading to new aesthetics and responses about the practice and industry of fashion. Fashion is designed, articulated, manipulated and simulated in both physical and digital spaces. It is at its best when guided by diversity, inclusivity and cultural awareness. At the RCA, we invite you to examine the systems and structures of fashion. We’re looking for individuals open to new and emerging ways of thinking. You will have the opportunity to reflect on, discuss and strengthen your authentic identity and help others do the same. You’ll learn to do this with an awareness of how our values are embedded in our outputs. 

Join a Master’s programme looking to reform the dominant fashion paradigm where we shift the focus from making clothes to concerning ourselves with the environment, social responsibility, and geopolitical and economic challenges.

What will you learn?

In the MA Fashion programme you will have the opportunity to choose one of three platforms: BIO, DIGITAL 360 or SYSTEMS. These are designed to give students an opportunity to work with tutors and peers to explore themes that responds to their emerging practice and develop new spaces, materials, identities and business models. There are points of intersection where students can engage with peers across platforms. There will also be an opportunity to participate in the School of Design’s interdisciplinary Grand Challenge, which enables all students to work collaboratively to develop projects that anticipate and respond to key societal concerns.
