Power and Fashion Education

Power structures in the fashion system exist through roles, objects, space and more. Fashion education raises issues of power relations and cultural differences in both academic delivery and professional practice. This research employs autoethnography as a method to collect data for my PhD, as it relates learning to personal experience,
and investigating the role of ‘self’ in fashion education at elite institutions and in the fashion industry, offering insights into the experiences of being an Asian student studying art and design at UK universities.
