Forward thinking, innovative design program, the BFA Fashion Design program has trained six generations of designers who have shaped the global industry. Employing design thinking and creative problem-solving strategies, students explore form, silhouette, material, and process — including social and environmental imperatives — to create beautiful, sustainable, responsibly produced fashion for a complex and evolving field. By examining advanced social theoretical and contextual applications of fashion design, students are encouraged to express deeper levels of criticality and messaging through their work.
