Macademia Fashion Design and Marketing

Macademia’s Fashion Design and Marketing programme introduces young people aged 12+ to the creative and technical world of fashion. It is designed to help students understand how clothing is designed, constructed, and communicated, while also developing confidence with visual storytelling and fashion presentation.

The course is organised into six standalone modules that can be taken in sequence or mixed with other subjects. Topics include introduction to fashion, garment design, drawing and visual communication, fashion industry and ethics, textiles and materials, and building a fashion collection.

Each module runs as a 6-week block with 2-hour sessions, creating a flexible learning format. Through hands-on projects, students create their own designs and collections while building skills in illustration, textiles, pattern basics, branding, and fashion marketing.

The programme is positioned as a supportive option for learners working towards GCSE and A-Level studies, and for those building a portfolio for further study or future careers in fashion and design.
