BA Fashion graduates work across a very wide spectrum of careers in fashion. While a few go on to become household names, the majority choose not to establish their own labels, working successfully and influentially as company designers, freelancers and consultants or as journalists, stylists, photographers, illustrators, editors and retailers. Each year, a number of BA Fashion graduates go on to study at postgraduate level, many at Central Saint Martins. Recent BA Fashion alumni activity demonstrates the breadth of student activity within the sector. Many of our graduates go on to work at major fashion labels around the world.
