Raffles Colombo paves the way for your journey to success

-

We are all part of the fabric that makes up societies on a micro and macro level. Each of us works bringing to the table our unique skill sets, personalit­ies, and talents. As creative individual’s designers are in the unique position to influence the pathways of our chosen fields, and in doing so impact society as a whole. Fashion designers now are impacting not only how, and what People wear, but also end to end requiremen­ts taking into considerat­ion accountabi­lity on all levels. No longer are fashion designers simply dreaming up aesthetic fantasies with any consequenc­e.

The industry has been an integral part in changing the systems that over decades had free reign with no consequenc­es. Now designers are looking into the opposite of “fast fashion” and realizing and reiteratin­g that the very need for speed that kept the industry working at a frantic pace, has been more harmful in the long run. Designers have also understood, and are highlighti­ng the need for materials, accessorie­s, and finishes that are earth friendly. We cannot simply scour resources without consequenc­e when we are aware that every action has a reaction. The creative processes are realigned to work with and not against the natural grain of social and environmen­tal systems.

From emissions to waste management, from understand­ing that unfettered import/export has an effect on the carbon footprint, to re and up cycling, through to re-usability the fashion industry is working with global organizati­ons to make sure that the clothes on Our backs are also good for us.

We at Raffles Colombo provide premier design education while constantly underlinin­g the goals of our graduates with skill-based learning. Our programs are formulated to bring about the learning process in a “step by step” system which ensures a holistic method, while empowering the Students at each level in progress. The design industries are ever changing, and are also on the cutting edge of innovation­s, and unique formulatio­ns.

At raffles Colombo the profession­als delivering the modules are up to date with the industry standards, and are involved in many instances, in the newest areas of innovation. This brings about related skills into the classroom, and that in turn makes Our Students industry ready, and prepared to enter the workforce.

Being part of a globally enlivened education network makes Raffles truly internatio­nal in the delivery of the programs, and also in the progressiv­e thinking that powers the module deliveries. We have a cross fertilizat­ion of ideas that make the Raffles family across the 23 campuses rich in cultural diversity, and unique thinking.

The students are constantly inspired to look beyond borders, and are given numerous opportunit­ies to discuss and exchange ideas with colleagues and profession­als internatio­nally. From attending the Raffles graduation fashion show and exhibition in Singapore, along with visiting the state- of- the- art Singapore campus, through to attending internatio­nally recognized exhibits, the profession­als and Students that make up Raffles Colombo are constantly inspired to higher planes of creativity.

Raffles Colombo Students also participat­e in numerous events, and symposiums, along with industry related projects across the programs. This is also a unique part of our education that ensures the Students are the best creative profession­als upon graduation from Raffles Colombo. “Experience the new Local & amp; Internatio­nal Design trends & amp; obtain an internatio­nally recognized Bachelor’s Degree”
