Welcome to London College of Fashion, UAL, where we have been nurturing creative talent for over a century. Our diverse courses cover every aspect of fashion, from business and design to fashion curation.
Rooted in an inclusive and open approach to education, we encourage students to explore the past, question the present, and develop bold, innovative ideas that challenge social and political norms. We equip them with the skills, opportunities, and, most importantly, the freedom to turn those ideas into reality.
Not only do we shape the next generation of leaders, but we are also transforming the fashion industry from within. By integrating design, science, engineering, and technology through cutting-edge research, we’re redefining the future of fashion.
With our new purpose-built campus at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, we are creating fresh opportunities and building connections with local communities, and industries in east London. As part of East Bank, a new hub for culture, education, and innovation, our campus fosters collaboration, experimentation, and inspiration all in one place.
Together, we’ll continue to lead the way in how fashion is consumed and practiced, using fashion business, media, and design to shape culture, economics, and society.
Through fashion, we shape lives.
