London College of Fashion (LCF) is a constituent college of the University of the Arts London , offering undergraduate, postgraduate, short courses and business-training in fashion, make-up, beauty-therapy and lifestyle industries. It is the only college in Britain to specialize in fashion education, research and consultancy. Its patron is Sophie, Countess of Wessex. The former head of college, Sandra Holtby, was awarded the OBE in the 2006 New Year's Honours. The current head of college is Professor Frances Corner OBE .
The college was originally founded by the former London County Council in 1906 as the Shoreditch Technical Institute Girls School and the Bartlett St and Clapham Trade School, which were opened to train young girls in the art of dressmaking, millinery, embroidery and hairdressing. The college was formerly home to The Lady Eleanor Holles School (which relocated to Hampton, Surrey). The London County Council was later abolished and replaced with the Inner London Education Authority until 1986. The two institutions later amalgamated to form one college for the garment trades: London College of Fashion.
The main college building at John Prince's Street is situated next to Oxford Street, just north of Oxford Circus which is primarily administrative aside from the Rootstein Hopkins Space, which is used to house various fashion shows and other fashion events.
The Study Abroad programmes are an opportunity to study in London for students unable to participate in the undergraduate programmes and can be studied for credits or purely for personal pleasure. Students from more than 60 US colleges have enrolled on the programme, which is designed to complement the US academic semester and to transfer/contribute to credits.
