Overview

Fashion Cultures and Histories at University of the Arts London (UAL) 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.
