Luxury footwear designer Jimmy Choo has announced that he is launching a new fashion academy in London to offer a “fresh and transformative take on fashion higher education”.
Located in London’s Mayfair, the JCA | London Fashion Academy will offer the next generation of fashion design talent courses that combine the latest teachings in contemporary design with the entrepreneurial skills required to set-up and drive successful fashion brands.
Opening its doors in September, Professor Jimmy Choo explained in a statement that the JCA would introduce a “groundbreaking incubation model” where students will be nurtured as emerging professional designers through a mentoring approach and will be provided with a level of access to internationally recognised design leaders “unrivalled by traditional colleges and universities”.

A magical experience from beginning to end.

New normal: Dominic Sewell directed musicians from across Europe in remote sessions AN Ealing composer has defied COVID restrictions to bring musicians together online and arrange a charity single aimed at the classical music charts. Dominic Sewell, a composer, orchestrator and lecturer at the London College of Music, part of the University of West London, directed musicians across Europe in remote sessions to reverse engineer the new single by Classic FM favourite Cai Thomas. The single was released on the Rubican Classics Label. Dominic said: “Working remotely, I was able to instruct musicians as if I were in the studio with them. Lockdown is forcing us to use technology in innovative ways that will change the industry for decades to come.”
