Programme Leader Q&A Luxury, Fashion Business and Marketing It goes without saying that the fashion industries are extremely competitive and graduates need to have a certain level of resilience in order to succeed once they leave the programme Claire Ritchie Programme Leader BA in Luxury Fashion Business and Marketing Q. What is your background and interest in luxury fashion? A. I trained originally as an applied fashion designer but then became more interested in the broader concepts around the marketing and promotion of fashion; elements such as fashion imaging, digital media, experiential marketing, consumer behaviour, globalisation and the development of luxury fashion and goods within emergent markets. Since 1995 I have worked in a number of industry roles including project management, PR and marketing of luxury products alongside the international development of my academic work and applied fashion research. My knowledge and experience span both the business and the creative sectors in a fully interdisciplinary way. So I am able to evaluate ideas from a conceptual and a commercial viewpoint. Q. What makes the programme at LCCA distinctive? A. The way that we have put together the programme reflects that interdisciplinary ethos completely, as this is also the nature of the workplace that we are preparing our students to enter. During the programme we will be exposing our students to as broad a range of concepts related to the world of fashion, luxury and business as we can. The tutors on the programme are all experienced industry practitioners and I think this adds a real authenticity to what we deliver. Our students become part of the broader culture of designbased learning here at LCCA, but they are also equipped with the skills to make the most creative ideas into a viable business proposition for the future. Q. How does the programme engage with industry? A. Aside from our tutors being engaged in their own practice, we undertake trips to explore the world of luxury fashion business in the field, we have guest speakers from the luxury sector and other fashion organisations that come to speak to our students and we engage in exchange of ideas, research and contacts with our partner institution Mod Art in Paris. In addition to this we also have a full schedule of creative events, guest speakers and exhibitions which happen in our gallery space at LCCA; these cover the wider scope of all of the creative subjects covered within the school. Q. Do students need to have studied luxury fashion or marketing? A. No, but I would expect applicants to have more than a pedestrian knowledge of those subjects. They should be able to hold a conversation about their favourite fashion designer, their favourite brands, fashion magazines, fashion blogs or stores and to be able to communicate why they like them. Fashion is a constantly changing, evolving entity, so the capacity to learn more never ends! Student work from Mod Art International, Courtesy of Mod Art International 47

Programme Leader Q&A Fashion Design and Styling Elements of the course are taught traditionally, but we expect students to be working and developing themselves in their own time too. Ana Ferreira Senior Programme Leader Fashion Design and Styling Q. How does the programme engage with industry? A. This programme is fully vocational, and we expect students to conduct themselves as professionals as soon as they join the course. Fashion design is constantly evolving, so it goes without saying that they should be fully engaged with the latest fashion news and trends. Students are also encouraged to get involved in work placements, build networks, and work on as many extra-curricular projects as they can.their CVs need to show educational qualifications and work experience: without both parts of the equation, graduates will find it difficult to gain paid work. All of the lecturers are creative practitioners, so they are working on their own projects alongside their work at LCCA. We also have a twice-yearly fashion exhibition, industry seminar series, and academic fashion publication The Fashion Sessions, which are all opportunities for students. In addition, we frequently host guest speakers to give talks to our students. Q. How personalised is the programme? A. The course modules are extremely flexible. If students have an interest in a particular area, we can accommodate them.for example, if a student wanted to be a menswear stylist, they could shape their work for those modules to develop their skills and knowledge within that subject area Q. Do students need to have studied Fashion Design and Styling before? A. No, but we expect candidates to have a significant interest in fashion. They should be able to name their favourite designers and know about their work in more depth than average. Candidates must also have the energy, enthusiasm and determination required to succeed as a designer or stylist, because working in any area of fashion requires extreme self-motivation and dedication. Q. How is the programme taught? A. Elements of the course are taught traditionally, but we expect students to be working and developing themselves in their own time too. The programme is studio based, as we do lots of practical work, but we also have more formal lectures. Students may also be out in the field, working on projects with designers and brands.

Programme Leader Q&A Graphic Design and Visual Communication The programme is not about how good you are at using technology: it is more focused on problem-solving, generating creative ideas and engaging in the design process.. Jenny Spencer Programme Leader BA in Graphic Design and Visual Communication FF More by Łukasz Dziedic Q. What makes the Graphic Design programme at LCCA distinctive? A. The Ecole D Art Maryse Eloy has been successfully training Graphic Designers for the last 30 years - and therefore, this vocationally orientated bachelor degree programme has a proven track record with regards to both academic and creative industry sectors. Q. How does the programme engage with industry? A. Graphic Design is a highly competitive and lucrative profession. This programme endeavours to train and prepare competent and skilled graduates who are familiar to the demands of the industry. LCCA is uniquely positioned in the commercial and creative hub of London - and students will be inspired by specialists and practitioners, working at the cutting-edge of the business. Q. What do you look for in applicants to a programme? A. The ability to draw and to visually communicate is of primary importance - but also to be open, curious and motivated enough to investigate and formulate fresh ideas - to be imaginative, inspired and inquisitive; solve problems, innovate and experiment - these are all necessary qualities of a successful graphic designer. A creative mind and the ability to express your ideas and feelings; you may like collecting or organising things or have an eye for detail; as well as an avid interest in art, design, advertising, branding, product design, the built environment, textiles/fabrics, fashion, style, colour, type/lettering, image-making...and of course story-telling - these are all things we look for in our applicants - as well of course, dedication and passion! Q. How is the programme taught? A. The programme centres on project-based learning through the delivery of set briefs which require a methodological approach and creative response - this simulates contemporary commercial studio practice. This is supported by a solid underpinning of theoretical and contextual studies. The programme is delivered through a rich blend of content which develops practical hands-on skills - particularly drawing and visualising. The programme aims towards encouraging each learner to generate material which forms a highly distinctive and personalised body of work, specialising in one of three major areas: Packaging Design, Photography or Digital Design. Q. Do students need to have studied Interactive Graphic Design before? A. Not necessarily. However, it does help if potential learners have acquired a reasonably competent level of software skills, digital technology or basic media techniques, prior to engaging on the programme. 55
