The Fashion Design programme focuses on developing sensitivity towards innovative design, bringing together universal design approaches with the local context. In response to shifts in the industry where design has become even more significant, students are encouraged to foresee and address pertinent issues and concerns.
It is with great pride and pleasure that I invite you to take a look at the final thesis projects of our graduating students.
The Degree Show website was launched initially in 2020. For the first time in the history of IVS, the thesis display could not take place in the usual physical setting. 2020 was an unusual year in so many ways and our students as well as faculty had to adapt to new modes of learning, creating and presenting their work. The challenges of the global pandemic forced us all to engage differently with our social world and our creative practices. Yet the results of this tumultuous, experimental period were impressive in their range and focus, and gave birth to the first-ever IVS online degree show. The website allowed viewers to engage with the works up close and in their own time. Therefore, we have decided to make it a permanent annual feature that will accompany and complement the in-person shows.
I hope you will take your time exploring all these wonderful works of art, design and architecture, and will come back to enjoy your favorites again and again.
