There are very few large businesses specialising in lingerie, swimwear, leisurewear and nightwear that have not been influenced, in some way, by our exceptional graduates.
As the course enters its eighth decade, our alumni are still pushing the envelope with innovative creations for some of the biggest names in contour fashion.
DMU graduates can be found working for ASOS, Calvin Klein, Gossard, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Aubade, Curvy Kate and Stretchline, among others.
Under the tutelage of Gillian Proctor and her team, many alumni have gone on to create their own labels, causing a sensation when their work has been worn by superstars including Beyoncé, Rita Ora and Paloma Faith.
DMU is proud of every one of our graduates, as well as the outstanding academics, who have helped them take their first steps towards a flourishing professional career.
