The UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT) with the support of Marks and Spencer (M&S) has rolled out a series of masterclasses on manufacturing at five UK universities as part of the Made It campaign. The classes are designed to give students understanding of sourcing, production and the business considerations of a UK-based manufacturing strategy.

UKFT’s Made It is in collaboration with Marks & Spencer and Graduate Fashion Week with the aim of bringing together graduate designers and UK manufacturers.

The masterclass students will have the opportunity to use what they learn to design, develop and produce UK made look. Based on the designs submitted, selected students from each participating university will receive financial support from Marks and Spencer and industry introductions and mentoring throughout the process from UKFT experts and manufacturers.

"As part of UKFT’s ongoing commitment to support UK manufacturing, we feel it is essential for students to understand the importance of commercial and technical considerations throughout the design process and the Made It campaign delivers this message," said Adam Mansell, CEO, UKFT.

The selected universities offer design courses across a range of product types including textiles, menswear, womenswear, knitwear and sportswear. The tailored masterclasses will be delivered by UK production and sourcing expert Daliah Simble at the University of Leeds, University of Salford, University of Westminster, Nottingham Trent University and Falmouth University.
