St Homobonus College is a proposed centre of excellence for dress culture in the historic university city of Cambridge, England. Inspired by the University’s traditional dress culture, which has had a huge influence on both ‘gown’ and ‘town’ Cambridge, as well as on (student) fashion around the world, St Homobonus College rethinks the college typology. This new 'college' gives dress culture in general, but particularly local dress culture, a stage in soon to be abandoned University buildings. Academics and craftsmen, higher education, vocational training and business, are all united, as a research centre, a school of tailoring, and a bespoke salon - among others - are brought together and linked. The theatricality of fashion, and specifically ideas surrounding dandyism, run throughout the design and the images I have created. Traditional tailoring and the construction of woolen garments have informed the organisation and the materiality of St Homobonus College.
