Sophie commented: “I have had a wonderful two years at Kingston – and I am thrilled to have won the prize for Fashion, I have learnt so many new skills on the ND Fashion course which have helped me get my place on the BA Hons Fashion Design Course at Kingston University. It has been a great experience!”

 

 

 

 

 

Maia Diver, College course leader, ND Fashion & Clothing, is delighted with the quality and professional standard of the students’ work.  “A diploma or other vocational qualification is an excellent grounding for training, further education or employment in fashion, whether students aspire to design itself or perhaps retailing,” says Maia.  “Employers support this type of learning, and our students’ recent experience designing t-shirts for Bentalls was a fantastic taste of the real-life world of fashion. It’s great to see how our College courses can help young people explore what they can achieve in life and work.” Many of the College students have been offered places in higher education, including the prestigious Central St. Martin’s College of Art and Design and at the London College of Fashion.
