Welcome back

It’s been a strange old time in the world and we haven’t posted in the longest time in the history of the Fashion Place blog (sorry followers!) Our campus has not been its usual hive of activity but the last month has seen most of our students back on campus and it’s been so good to see everyone!

Over the past year, our students have risen to the challenges of blended and online learning, socially-distanced team work and projects – from photoshoots to placements. We’ve seen another cohort graduate online but were pleased to share their celebrations our Instagram profile (do you follow us? If not click here).

We have lots of exciting plans for the year ahead and look forward to sharing these with you. In fact we were delighted to host our first Sustainability in the Creative and Cultural Industries symposium earlier this month. The event saw a host of academics and practitioners sharing their thoughts, research and knowledge around different aspects of sustainability – a crucially important agenda for businesses and timely in the run up to COP26, which takes place in Glasgow this coming week.

The symposium took place online and you can watch all the presentations online by clicking here and working your way through the agenda.

Look forward to sharing more soon!
