JCA London Fashion Academy is a unique modern-day undertaking by one of the world's most renowned contemporary designers, Prof. Dato' Jimmy Choo OBE. We are positioned as an industry leader in the field of fashion education, following and positively reacting to the developing higher education landscape in the UK and the Minister's call for 'new and innovative providers opening high quality higher education'. Our Academy seeks to find, support and launch new designers through a couture-styled learner-centred approach that is focused on professional practice delivered within a boutique specialist incubation environment.

Our academic staff are the best in their field, professionally within fashion, and pedagogically within education. They are also friendly and approachable people. People who want to work with other, similar-minded, people – and together, to create a professionally focused learning community. Lecturers are employed as 'Mentors' and deliver more than taught sessions; they interact, engage, and participate with learners and guide the learning journey. They excite, provoke and disrupt ways of thinking. They support, protect and inculcate excellence. However, most of all, they motivate, encourage and inspire.

What We Offer

As a selective institution, recruitment is based on academic and creative potential expressed through prior qualifications and portfolio and behaviours and attitudes through academic interview and engagement.
