The Brief
During your time on the course you’ve explored different areas of the FCP landscape, consider which of these interested you and where you might like to be within the industry once your studies are complete. Reflect on how your skills & knowledge will combine to get you there. Over the course of the curriculum you’ve encountered different fashion and philosophical theories, examine which of these you might use to help contextualise your ideas. You will investigate two possible directions for your third-year self-devised project during this brief.

Biotechnology provides a viable solution to address the environmental challenges and ethical issues faced in the fashion industry. As concerns continue to mount regarding the harmful materials employed in mass production, it becomes imperative to reevaluate our approach from its inception. Recognising and embracing eco-friendly alternatives within the market is crucial for effecting meaningful change. It is pivotal to enhance efforts and highlight the indispensable role of biotechnology in fashion, as it serves as a catalyst for a more responsible and sustainable future for the industry.
