LINKS TO INDUSTRY
To enhance the already world class training programme we offer, a variety of industry professionals visit Rare School of Fashion and Art to teach regular masterclasses, ensuring students stay abreast of current trends, offering feedback on progress and advising students on their potential for industry employment.
Some of the incredible talents we’ve hosted for masterclasses at Rare are:
Linda Watson - Fashion historian and fashion writer for Vogue
Alec Maxwell 'KLOSS' - Fashion Film director/ editor for Vogue
James Enevoldson - Bespoke Tailor for H. Coleman Tailoring
Philip Armstrong - Fashion Designer
Heather Rowland - Fashion Stylist
Nicola Carragher - Director and Designer of Elixir Design Interiors
Beth Hyland - Fashion Buyer
and many more.
Our students can also take part in live design projects for external clients. In the past, our students have taken part in design projects for KLOSS, Liverpool Football Club, The Vogue Ball, music videos, theatrical productions, and have completed styling on photo shoots for many industry figures.
