You will be taught by our mentors at our flagship London Fashion Academy located in the heart Mayfair; a prestigious address just a stone’s throw from the city’s most iconic high-fashion emporia.
JCA is a truly distinctive educational institution that delivers luxury brand education through a couture-styled learner centred approach that is focused on professional practice delivered within a specialist boutique incubation environment.
JCA’s vision is simple and elegant; we want to enable and facilitate the next wave of Fashion Designers to harness their imagination, develop and hone their creative craft, and to inspire others around them with their personal contribution to cultural and economic impact.
Studio practice is the main pedagogy at the Academy and every learner will have access to a dedicated design studio housed with core design facilities. In addition, our newly fitted workshops are equipped with industrial sewing machines, pattern cutting tables, and specialist sampling and fabrication facilities. Onsite business incubation services assist learners to establish and develop their personal enterprise initiatives. Learners will be supported through portable IT facilities and be able to access specialist texts and journals via our online and physical library.
The Academy is run by fashion professionals, not simply academic teachers, and it is highly focused on professional excellence. Our staff are among the best in their field, professionally within fashion, and pedagogically within education. They are friendly and approachable people who work together to help create a professionally focused learning community that brings together and inculcates students, staff, and associates from the wider fashion industry.
Our luxurious campus is in the final stages of development as we convert a period Mayfair property into a state-of-the-art learning facility. We will be releasing dates for Open Days in the very near future. Please register your interest if you would like to be notified when those dates are released.
