Become part of UAL’s dynamic network of fashion/textile innovators – F.I.R.E

F.I.R.E (Fashion, Innovation, Research, Evolution) has been awarded a second round of funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to develop a new, online fashion research portal, which you can become part of.

Principal Investigator, Professor Sandy Black and the FIRE team have worked hard to evolve the platform so that it is a space where academic researchers can connect with the UK’s designer fashion industry. We have held workshops with the fashion academic and designer community to establish the needs and desires for this platform so that it is most useful and inspiring.

We would love you to get involved and sign up to FIRE when we launch – here is a selection of what the platform has to offer:

– Find collaborators for projects and funding schemes
– Get information on new manufacturing techniques and technology
– Read relevant fashion research content and case studies
– Find relevant businesses and research expertise
– Participate in network events and workshops exclusive to FIRE

Keep an eye out on the University of Arts London website for the new F.I.R.E online platform which should be launching in Oct/Nov 2015.
