Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Gefen is a senior lecturer and course leader with nine years of experience translating hands-on fashion design, production management, and brand direction into rigorous higher-education programmes. He combines a practitioner’s pedigree—founding and running a menswear label, managing yacht upholstery production, and freelancing in pattern cutting and print design—with academic expertise in fashion history and culture (MA) and ongoing doctoral research. At the University of Bedfordshire he leads the BA Fashion course, shaping curriculum and mentoring emerging designers while bringing real-world supply-chain and studio workflow insights into teaching. His background in leather goods, accessory design, and bespoke interiors gives him a practical edge in production-led pedagogy that many fashion academics lack. Unusually for a fashion educator, he also codes (JS, React, Clojure, elisp), signaling a curiosity for digital tools and interdisciplinary approaches to design practice. Based in Andalusia but with extensive UK academic and industry experience, he bridges craft, theory, and production to prepare students for contemporary creative industries.
