The Bachelor of the Arts (Honours) in Fashion Design (with Collection Design, Applied Textiles, Technology or Sustainability) at the Limerick School of Art & Design has an excellent reputation both nationally and internationally for providing a comprehensive, hands-on, and creative fashion design education.
The programme fosters independent thinking, creativity and innovation in both creative design processes and technical skills across four pathways: Collection Design, Applied Textiles, Technology or Sustainability. Students will choose one pathway of specialisation during their second year that will inform their focus for the rest of their studies. In their chosen Pathway, the student will be supported in exploring fashion design through subjects and processes that are of interest to them as they develop their voice as a designer. It is our aim to guide students through finding their own approach to creating design solutions in clothing, textile development, fashion technology or in sustainable systems for fashion and textiles.
We place emphasis on encouraging our students to balance physical craft with digital skills, innovative creativity, and critical thinking. We are consistently reacting, adapting, and responding to the changing landscape of the industry, both in Ireland and Internationally, within the course structure. This strategic alignment with the industry gives our students and graduates an edge as they progress their careers in Fashion & Textile design.
Nurturing originality of thought and transferable skills, the B.A. (Honours) Fashion Design will support the student in becoming a dynamic, empathetic, creative, and self-motivated designer who is capable of working at all levels of the Fashion and Textiles design industry and beyond.
