You will be taught at either our flagship London Fashion Academy located in the heart Mayfair; or our historic Boston Manor campus, located on the Boston Manor estate.
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.
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 have supportive and collaborative approach to teaching. They also work together to help create a professionally focused learning community that brings together students, staff, and high-profile industry experts from the wider fashion sector.
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.
