What the design industry says about our Fashion MA

"Realising what the fashion industry will need in the future as technology and design fuse, the Fashion MA at Kingston brings together insightful design with an understanding of our near and far future of design thinking. Encompassing the greater understanding that our clothes are not just about aesthetics, but embracing some of the understanding of clothing - for protection, warmth, comfort, tribal belonging and as a second skin – this course offers a platform for students to experiment, direct and most importantly innovate."
Philippa Wagner, materials and innovation consultant, Stylesite 

"It is increasingly important to look beyond the boundaries of discipline to create and innovate. Nancy Tilbury's own practice and the Fashion MA course she established at Kingston embraces interdisciplinary collaborative and creative exchange from industry."
Lianne Mallett, senior specialist colour and materials, strategy and vision, Nokia

"We are pleased with the establishment of the MA course which we feel fills a very important gap in the academic spectrum of fashion and textile education in the UK and Europe. We have collaborated with Nancy Tilbury on many projects over a decade and feel that her unique combination of skills and experience in the world of technology integration will continue to provide original thinking and cutting edge design. We look forward to an active and inspiring collaboration with the MA programme."
Clive van Heerden, senior director, Philips Design
