About this listen
In this episode of Fashion Means Business, Dr. Nina Van Volkinburg is joined by Fashion Business School colleagues Ginny Hutt (BA Fashion Buying & Merchandising Course Leader) and Eleanor Rockett (Senior Lecturer in Fashion Law) to unpack how AI is reshaping fashion higher education today.
Together they explore the real ways students are using AI (often at the “front end” of research and ideation), why there’s still a lingering taboo around disclosure, and what effective AI integration can look like without compromising academic integrity, originality, or creativity.
You’ll also hear practical, classroom-tested approaches: using AI to support (not replace) literature searching and qualitative analysis; teaching the fundamentals of datasets, authorship, and IP through tangible design-led case studies; and embedding workshop-based learning that builds the soft skills the fashion industry is demanding.
The conversation closes with advice for students heading into the workplace - especially how to get better at prompting, validating outputs, and using AI as a critical-thinking partner rather than a shortcut.
