On Friday, February 16, the graduating womenswear and menswear students of the master programme in fashion design technology at London College of Fashion (LCF), University of the Arts London (UAL), presented their collections on the runway of London Fashion Week (LFW) autumn/winter 2024.
This presentation of this year’s LCF graduating class of master students took place at the college’s brand new East Bank campus, located in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which made its debut this season as an official LFW venue.
The fashion show took place as an invite-only event for industry professionals and the press as part of the official London Fashion Week AW24 calendar. The designs created by the master students specialising in womenswear were presented in a live showroom within the new building of LCF’s East Bank Campus.
The dynamic space enabled attendees to request selected looks from collections worn by live models, giving the crowd an opportunity to meet and interact with the graduating designers.
The menswear students presented their collections in a fashion film that was shown in the college’s lecture theatre. A curated selection of looks featured on the film were on display in the same space.
In addition to the exclusive presentation on the LFW runway, London College of Fashion is granting the public a chance to see the work of its fashion students over the next few weeks in the LCF Postgraduate 2024 exhibition. The exhibition features the work of students who are currently studying at one of its three schools: the LCF Fashion Business School, the LCF School of Design and Technology and the LCF School of Media and Communication.
