Why UK for Arts students?

“I do arts, fashion is my passion, UK inspires my work.”  Sirapat Tarab said, MA student from London College of Fashion.

                          

                                             

For this week update, we have interviewed student from London College of Fashion for her Master's degree, Sirapat Tarab. She really loves fashion and she found out that she is interested in arts when she was in arts class in high school. After that, she planned to seriously study about arts. Once she travelled to United Kingdom, she found that UK was very fascinating. 

“It is conservative and classic, there are history behind every places you visit,” she said. Not only places but also the comprised with different cultures in one country and that is making United Kingdom more attractive. After spent a few weeks in UK, she fell in love with everything in the UK such as places, history, people, unique accent, and of course fashion. When she returned to Thailand she determined that one day she would go to study at United Kingdom. 

When she graduated high school in Thailand, she applied for Fashion design in Birmingham City University and she made it. She thought this is a good opportunity to study what she loves. She can exchange her vision with her foreign friends so that she can learn more about the fashion in other countries. It was a chance to experience new things and she has learnt a lot from fashion design course. It gave her different perspective in design and she believes she can compare her work to others in the future.

“I know how to cut a dress. I had my first collection clothes. This course gives me a lot of opportunities to work in practical way,” she said. After she graduated, she decided to continue her fashion study in London College of Fashion. 

Moreover, Thomas Burberry is one of her inspiration to study in UK. Burberry has its own pattern that becomes most widely copied trademarks. These are her reason why she chose to study arts in United Kingdom.
