About Collarts - Australian College of the Arts

What Collarts - Australian College of the Arts is all about

Collarts (Australian College of the Arts Pty Ltd) is a dynamic independent tertiary education college full of passion, individuality and opportunity. Focused on creating real career pathways into the creative sector for students, Collarts delivers industry-based learning coupled with strong personal and professional development across four different campuses. Throughout their 30-year history as an education provider, Collarts (formerly AusMusic) has gained a reputation for delivering high quality, tertiary education, with a distinct ability to always be at the forefront of contemporary culture. Collarts' commitment to industry connection, agility, and cultural relevance make it a popular choice for students wanting the best start to a real career in the creative industry. Collarts offers fully accredited Bachelor Degrees or Diplomas in: Animation and VFX; Audio Engineering; Comedy; Digital & Social Media; Entertainment Journalism (Diploma only); Entertainment Management; Fashion Marketing; Fashion & Sustainability; Interior Design; Music Performance; Music Production and Screen & Media. Being an independent tertiary college allows Collarts to offer a more specialised experience than a traditional university. Students are taught by industry leaders who have collectively worked with the world's best music acts, produced and recorded award-winning albums, managed some of Australia's best-known events, and created editorial and creative content for some of the world's leading media outlets. By offering a hands-on, collaborative approach to learning, Collarts strives to support those who want to succeed in the creative and entertainment industries, both nationally and internationally. Throughout their education, students are given opportunities to gain work experience at music festivals, entertainment venues, recording facilities, radio stations, and with brands and organisations at the forefront of contemporary culture. As part of each degree, students also undertake a comprehensive work placement.

Student-run media is radical and @collarts ‘GEORGE’ magazine is proving why. Created entirely by students, the print publication gives emerging creatives the space to experiment, collaborate and create work that genuinely reflects this generation’s perspective on fashion and culture. From editorials to graphic design and photography, the students behind ‘GEORGE’ are learning in real time what it takes to bring a publication to life, all while spotlighting the next wave of creative talent. Read the full story now via the link in bio. Made in partnership with Collarts.⁠

Racks of outfits, cameras flashing and a room buzzing with creative energy, that's the vibe from our 2 hour fashion shoot with @jamesmmorris_ and @nikonaustralia last month 📸

Fashion and Styling students brought their favourite pieces along, working hands on with Photography, Digital Social Media, Screen and Media students throughout the day. 

Some students modelled their own pieces, others brought friends along to model for them, and everyone left with new skills, portfolio ready work and connections they'll carry into their own practice.

Guided by @jamesmmorris_ a queer Australian–Lebanese fashion photographer and filmmaker known for storytelling that champions diversity, authenticity and a modern vision of beauty.

A big thank you to @nikonaustralia for providing the equipment on the day and helping bring this experience to life.

It's World Fashion Day, and to celebrate we're spotlighting Cala Hernandez-Godoy's Fashion & Sustainability Capstone project, the CITRINE collection by CVLITV 🍊
Named after the citrine gemstone found in Artigas, Uruguay, the collection is Cala's love letter to her Chilean and Uruguayan heritage. Crochet, embroidery and hand embellishment reworked into contemporary silhouettes, made entirely from deadstock and reclaimed fabric. Citrine is slow fashion, made with purpose.

And of course, it took a village: Cala brought together fellow Collarts alumni, students and creatives to bring Citrine to life:

Creative Director & Designer: @_calita_ 
Photographer: @techicoloursuper888 
Model: @jupita 
Stylist: @cassidy_dixon_ 
Assistant Director: @sophianico_ 

Check out more of Cala's work at @_cvlitv_ 🫶 We can't wait to see what she does next!
