What will you be doing?
This isn't just a lecture!
You'll have the opportunity to put your ideas into practice through a series of creative activities.
You'll work individually or in pairs to develop your own fashion brand concept, exploring everything from brand names and target customers to mood boards, colour palettes and logo ideas.
You'll then bring your ideas together and create a short pitch to share your brand concept.
