From the Futures Team

Last week, the Senior Textiles students explored the RMIT campus and potential future pathways in the fashion industry. Thanks to Katrina O’Kelly for helping to organise this opportunity for the students. Below is a reflection from Alexandra McColl (Year 12);

The RMIT tour provided senior Textiles students with first-hand insight into the high-quality facilities and variety of Fashion degrees on offer. Pymble students were able to explore the extensive range of machinery, equipment and materials, in addition to the sustainable industry practices RMIT integrates into their courses.

Touring around the campus in person enabled newfound insight beyond the university brochures by physically showing the day-to-day campus life. A student looking to study fashion at RMIT can expect access to outstanding facilities for practical work, including various types of industrial sewing machines, screen-printing rooms and knitting machines. On top of this, RMIT facilitates student networking through their industry partnerships with Country Road, ACMI and Wittner. There is also potential to study abroad via exchange partnerships with New York (Parsons), Amsterdam Fashion Institute and London College of Fashion. After touring RMIT, I implore all Textiles and Design students interested in fashion or fashion enterprise to consider RMIT as a potential pathway after Pymble.
