Kept current with the 2026 syllabus

Cambridge releases new Fashion and Textiles sessions every year, and every one of them lands in the free Fashion and Textiles past-paper archive on this site — question paper and official mark scheme together, usually within days of release. Nothing about that is gated.

This topic map is rebuilt against the official 2026 Cambridge Fashion and Textiles syllabus, so the numbering and the topic titles here match the specification a student is actually sitting rather than a retired version of it. Stale topic mapping is one of the biggest hidden quality problems with free past-paper sites, and it is the thing this page is here to get right.
