Our Value

Design that means business

Making Style not Fashion

In design, we teach a combination of heritage and radical thinking. Craftsmanship and new technology with inn-depth design research approach. We encourage students to build their own sensibility towards aesthetics. It’s more than a fashion fad, its all about timeless style.

Tell Stories

Designing lives

Design can change lives. Through teaching, specialist research, and collaborative work, we empower our students to think differently, using fashion to examine the past, build a sustainable future with architecture, and improve the way we live.
