BA Fashion Design comprises five pathways: Womenswear, Menswear, Knit, Print, and Communication. We encourage collaboration at every stage, and throughout the course you will work on projects with the other courses and with students of the BA Fashion Communication course.  As a program we encourage students to break down all societal barriers and perceptions when describing gender and identity. We embrace a non-gendered approach. 



The Knit pathway is primarily fashion and design oriented, with a strong focus on technical ability. Students extend and challenge concepts underpinned by mastering a variety of techniques, from hand skills to computerised machinery, and are encouraged to push the boundaries to develop individual outcomes. While on the course, students experiment with established and new fibres and focus on regenerative and sustainable yarns and materials to communicate their creative approach to knit. Students are expected to engage with emerging practices, and experimentation with new technologies as part of CSM’s forward-thinking approach to education.  



BA Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins is globally renowned. The course has an excellent staff team of highly experienced practitioners and researchers with international profiles who come from diverse backgrounds and remain connected to their industry and are at the forefront of fashion. Students are innovators, critical thinkers, and trailblazers and thrive within the lively and dynamic art school environment that differentiates fashion at CSM from other fashion courses. Students learn through different experiences as a community, they are encouraged to connect, working with peers and industry to strengthen their learning, understanding, and opportunities. 



In the Central Saint Martins Fashion Programme, we work to be at the heart of the debate about the future of fashion. Learning is our core purpose and our research, industry and external relationships enrich our approach. We are committed to reflecting and influencing the sustainable transformation of the industry.  Social, racial and climate justice are our core values and we believe in a fairer world for all. 



Our outlook responds to decolonising the curriculum agendas by focusing on inclusive and diverse fashion pedagogical thinking and practices that reflect the international nature of our community and global fashion systems. We believe we must constantly challenge ourselves to shape ethical approaches in creative practice.
