Program description
The MA Fashion Film programme at London College of Fashion offers an opportunity to redefine moving image within a fashion context, blending commercial value with highly creative cinematic storytelling that reflects culture. Unlike a traditional film‑school format, it encourages you to develop a contextual framework and visual style through research, experimentation, and digital innovation to formulate your own creative identity as a fashion filmmaker.
You will critically engage with fashion as a cultural entity to identify your motivation and most suitable role(s) within a film production team through practice‑based projects. The short films produced on the course interrogate fashion discourse, showcase fashion in motion, and use fashion film as a vehicle for change, emphasising storytelling, imagination, creativity, and digital innovation throughout the process.
