Course Title:   Diploma in Fashion Design

When students arrive at the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of fashion Design they set out on a journey of discovery and self-discovery. Fashion is about how we as individuals, societies and cultures see ourselves and how we choose to express that perception. With this in mind we make a point of approaching the whole learning experience from a holistic perspective, placing as much emphasis on the personal development of students as on their acquiring the broad range of skills necessary to be a competent role - player in the world of fashion in all its forms. Along the journey, each new task and new skill learned, is placed in this context so that students at all times have a good overall grasp of the whole process, "from concept to consumer".
