Testimonials

Our Fashion Design & Technology students work closely with our technicians and rely heavily on their support with producing their final collections.

“I cannot give enough credit to the technicians - they helped me on a daily basis with my designs and they were there whenever I had a dilemma. They make your ideas a reality and are like a fashion dictionary too.”

Niamh Clarke, BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Technology
