London Fashion Academy launches JCA Gallery and E-commerce store
JCA | London Fashion Academy is thrilled to announce the grand opening of the JCA Gallery, a vibrant showcase of the talent of its learners. Located in the iconic JCA campus on Hanover Square, the new ground floor gallery is a space for designers to display their garments and accessories. The physical gallery will be supported by a new E-commerce section of the JCA’s website on Thursday 11th April, allowing the public to buy and rent products from Academy’s learners for the very first time.
The vision behind the learner founded and curated JCA Gallery is to offer those from both the JCA’s Undergraduate and Masters programmes a platform to enter the world of retail. The Gallery was conceived as an immersive experience, with each young designer’s works being presented exhibition style.
Opening its doors to the public from 10am to 5.30pm, Tuesday through Thursdays weekly, available by appointment only, the JCA Gallery offers a bespoke experience to meet and collaborate with young design talent. The JCA staff will assist customers through their rental journey if in person, or the same seamless experience with the convenience of the online presence.
“At the JCA, we are committed to nurturing our learners’ talent, as well as giving them the support to put their product out there in front of the fashion industry before they graduate. Therefore, we are thrilled to introduce the JCA Gallery at our Mayfair campus and supporting e-commerce websites that will allow learner works to be sold and rented. At JCA we do not only hone students’ creative skills but also equip them with business skills that help them launch their own businesses.” says Ha Smith, Direction of Incubation JCA.
The JCA Gallery promises to be more than just a showcase – it is a celebration of innovation and the boundless potential of emerging designers ready to show their talent to the world.
