  • will be able to identify a variety of iconic historical products, styles, key products, and fabrics in the field of accessory design
  • will be able to analyse shoe and handbag anatomy
  • will be able to develop trends into a comprehensive body of research including silhouette, cut, fabric, texture and design details
