MA Digital Fashion Innovation encourages and supports designers to explore and work with advanced digital technologies, interrogate and question current fashion practice and challenge the ideals around how a product is realised. Fashion is currently recognised as one of the most damaging industries on the planet, abusing natural resources, dumping masses of redundant waste and product into landfill and flushing tonnes of chemicals into the oceans on a daily basis. It is therefore critical the practice of a designer acknowledges and attempts to address and integrate a conscious and considered approach to both the design and realisation of a fashion product.

MA Programs in Fashion Fashion Design
Fashion design has varied over time and place and is most influenced by social and cultural latitudes. It is the art of design and natural beauty or aesthetics to clothing and accessories. A Master of Arts (MA) program in this field studies a range of conceptual and commercial approaches to all levels of the fashion market, and provides students with the opportunity to explore sustainability, global trends, innovations and textiles.
What is an MA in Fashion Design? This program supports research into the digital and traditional approaches in developing clothing and accessories, with a focus on contemporary strategies. Many courses place an emphasis on garment modeling techniques and creative pattern cutting. Students will also learn about the influence of new materials based on local and global trends. Some of the courses available include sustainable design, garment construction, new materials and contemporary and future fashion.
There are many benefits for receiving a master's degree in fashion design. The student will learn construction skills, how personal aspirations can influence the industry and what the crossover between art and fashion is. Students will also benefit from the knowledge of what impact fashion can have on the environment and the ethical and sustainable design issues associated. They may also have the opportunity to partake in workshops that specialize in manufacturing technology.
Depending on the institution and the country it is located, the registration costs will vary. Interested students should contact the school directly to find out if the courses match their career goal needs and what the associated fees will be.
Graduates of an MA can find careers within the marketing, merchandising or purchasing industry. Many who complete the program have the goal of working as a designer in a commercial fashion studio or running his or her own designer label. However, graduates can also find work as a stylist, illustrator or artist, or within an independent design company.
Many programs can take one year on a full time basis or two years if the student is part time. For students with busier schedules, online classes are also available with many, if not all, institutions offering distance learning modules.
