CSM Foundation x Great Ormond Street Hospital

The ‘Making and Thinking’ brief with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) invites students to consider social design and ask questions like; what is the role of the designer? What positive impact can I have on society? Following on from the success of ‘CSM loves NHS’ scrubs initiative, the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design course has created potential partnerships with trusts and hospitals such as GOSH. Students on the Fashion and Textiles pathway completed a brief which asked them to design a bespoke hospital gown for a long-term patient. Using a patient profile from the hospital, students designed bold and playful hospital gowns considering how it may impact patient wellbeing and recovery.
