Primary page content

The Fashion Research Unit – A new research group bringing together expertise and interests from across the Departments of Design, Media and Communications, Visual Culture, Sociology, ICCE, IMS, Computing and Art - is set to launch at Goldsmiths this month.

The Unit’s formation marks the success of the recently introduced MA in Fashion, based in the Department of Design, which calls for creative practitioners – designers, writers, thinkers and curators – to actively seek to challenge traditional boundaries in the fashion world.

The Fashion Research Unit’s launch event, comprising of six speakers from inside and outside Goldsmiths, takes place on Wednesday 18th February and will address Critical Perspectives on Fashion Research & Methodology.

Based for the first two years in the Department of Media and Communications, with Professor Angela McRobbie as Director, the Fashion Research Unit will aim to host monthly events.

All are welcome to attend the Goldsmiths Fashion Research Unit’s inaugural event from 2-6pm on Wednesday 18th February. Visits the Events Calender for a full list of speakers.
