Our BA (Hons) Scheme in Fashion is dedicated to training talented designers for the fashion industry. In particular, the knitwear design specialism offers hands-on training with industry-grade knitting machines, ensuring our students are well-prepared to meet the expectations of the industry.

To further strengthen our research and teaching facilities, we are grateful to Mr Benny Wong, Chairman and Executive Director of Nameson Group, for his generous donation of two advanced knitting machines to the School in 2025. This valuable contribution provides our students with access to a wider variety of equipment, encouraging them to continuously explore innovative ideas and push the boundaries of creativity in knitwear design.

Mr Wong shares SFT’s vision of nurturing the next generation of talented designers for the industry. His support not only enhances our specialism but also helps us create more opportunities for students to develop the skills and experience needed for a successful career in knitwear.

We sincerely thank Mr Wong and Nameson Group for their commitment to education and innovation in fashion and textiles.
