London College of Fashion, UAL

London College of Fashion, UAL, has been nurturing creative talent for over a century. With a philosophy of open and inclusive education, LCF encourages students to examine the past and question the present.  Using fashion as a tool to shape lives LCF graduates are encouraged to develop inventive, assertive ideas that challenge social and political agendas.

MA Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear) and MA Fashion Design Technology (Menswear) are world leading courses that challenge the conventions of fashion design, producing some of the industry's most progressive designers and labels including Olivia Rubens, Barbra Kolasinski, Bethany Williams, Harikrishnan and Joao Maraschin.  Encouraging new definitions and notions of fashion practice LCF's MA courses produce a community of critical thinkers, researchers, and practitioners who are responsible, accountable and resourceful. 

In 2023, LCF opened the doors to its new home at East Bank, the UK’s newest cultural quarter at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. From there, LCF is forging partnerships, opening up opportunities, and creating connections with east London’s schools, community and industry. LCF's new home has brought all of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, from all of its three schools, under one roof for the very first time. In doing so, LCF continues to pioneer how we all consume and practice fashion. Use fashion business, media and design to shape culture, economics, and society. And through fashion, shape lives.
