The Textile Futures Research Group comprises researchers across Chelsea College of Art and Design , Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design , London College of Fashion , at the University of the Arts London.
Using a variety of research methods and partnerships it will bring together staff working in different colleges of this University, other national and international academic, research and cultural institutions, industry and commerce. It will build on staff and student work in the areas of textiles, product, fashion, environment, architecture, medicine/wellbeing as well as history and theory. The research issues will feed back into current and future graduate and postgraduate programmes and through its activities and outputs (products, publications, patents, conferences etc) it will also provide a creative profile that constructively counterbalances the proliferation of technology driven textile research.
