At the fashion department, you are invited to explore the different cultural and social meanings of clothes and fashion with a critical and open attitude. Through various classes you’re supported and encouraged to challenge and question the established commerce-driven fashion system and work towards more social, radical, inclusive, multidisciplinary, sustainable and multivocal forms of fashion. When studying fashion at the Rietveld, you are supported in developing your own way of working while engaging with and supporting the community. Theory and practice, as well as material/technical and conceptual processes are intertwined and support your creative and experimental process. Your work can take many shapes, ranging from research projects, clothing collections, performances, publications to installations.
