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.
Our mentors have specialist knowledge and a wealth of experience between them, many of them practicing designers and consult within the fashion industry.
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.
A nurturing, stimulating environment is vital to the creative process. That means lively lectures, interactive learning and an inspiring place to study.
As a student of JCA, you will join a community of professional practice in which the learner is supported through a range of curricular and extra curricular opportunities.
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.
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.
Students at the Academy will enjoy a range of student entitlements that will include:
Studio Technician team providing scheduled and on-demand support with technical, IT and learning resources
Student Engagement team providing wide-ranging support from information, advice, and guidance (such as accommodation and financial support), pastoral support, through to facilitating the activities of the Student’s Union
Library Support team providing on-demand support with access to learning resources, research, and referencing support
Business Incubation team providing advice and guidance on enterprise development, careers advice, general business support, and external referrals.
Education goes far beyond books, lectures and passing practical assignments. Our goal is to support your transition from higher education into entrepreneurship or employment where you can hit the ground running.
Our portfolio features a range of courses to suit future fashion pioneers at different stages of their journey, from short courses all the way up to Masters.
