It was a ‘coming of age’ moment for JCA given that the graduating cohort joined The Academy on its opening day back in September 2021 and have built their own independent brands over the past three years while training.

JCA claims to be set apart from other London fashion academies through its approach that has an equal focus on vocational design skills and business education. The aim is that the designers will have “a well-rounded skill set to thrive as a business upon graduation”.

Each designer presented the first six looks of their debut collections.
