Overview

The Costume programme from University of the Arts London (UAL) embraces the past to inform the future. Students will focus on handcraft and traditional excellence in cut and construction. You’ll combine these with digital design and production techniques.

You'll carry out research by exploring fabric, handling and fabrication treatments. You'll utilise digital print, digital embroidery, laser cutting and 3D printing. You’ll also consider the impact of costume for diverse performances and audiences.

The course places emphasis on sustainable and ethical production methods in:

current industry practice

past perspectives of the industrialisation of costume-dependent materials such as fabrics

cultural readings of representation and character

audience reading or interpretation

professional practices that relate to economic, social/racial and environmental justice.

What to expect

Develop construction and cut techniques: You'll look at both traditional and new approaches to costume.

Research: Learn research methods and skills to support your practice.

Collaboration: Work with costume and performance students at Wimbledon College of Arts as well as with industry.

An ethical focus: Explore climate, social and racial justice. You'll learn how to embed these principles into your creative practice.
