MA Fashion Cultures and Histories takes an interdisciplinary approach to the theoretical analysis of fashion as a key marker of social and cultural change, and a means of understanding the relationship between individuals and communities. Students on the course develop high level writing, research and analytical skills, preparing them to become informed critics and communicators, generating new knowledge about fashion in its multiple contexts and shaping the ways it is understood.
An unique Master’s degree situated in a dedicated London fashion college, provides students with grounding in relevant, innovative and critical fashion histories and theories. The course is committed to embedding UAL’s Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice. Taught principally by London College of Fashion’s Cultural and Historical Studies Department, students join a unique community of researchers at the forefront of fashion studies, using their knowledge to enact meaningful and transformative change.
This course responds to shifting dynamics within the fashion industry, and the increasing need for critical thinkers and cultural leaders, who can activate fashion knowledge within the workplace. Through this course, you will learn vital leadership and research skills that will enable you to reflect and articulate fashion knowledge across cultural difference, within professional and academic contexts. You will actively generate new thinking about fashion and help to shape the ways in which it is understood, presented and evaluated.
In providing the tools for constructing compelling narratives about fashion for specialist and general audiences, the course prepares you for future-facing careers in research, publishing, education, museums, think tanks, institutes, within the fashion and culture industries, or to undertake further study in a fashion-related subject.
