The Manchester Fashion Institute runs an exciting programme enabling Club members to explore a range of aspects of the fashion industry such as fashion illustration, pattern cutting, ethical fashion, buying and merchandising. Looking at Fashion through different lenses, from marketing to construction, Club members get to work alongside specialist technicians, staff and students, as well as use workshops to develop their own designs, produce garments and ideas.

The Saturday Club provides members with a unique opportunity to understand that there are more aspects to studying fashion than just designing clothes. It allows them to explore their creativity, while developing their understanding of the fashion industry, consider your ethical beliefs and views on sustainability, ethical fashion, and waste, while also learning to share ideas, collaborate and communicate your thoughts creatively. This is achieved with support from brilliant lecturers from within the Fashion Institute and current students who can give insight into university life.

Club members also take part in national events including Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!
