London College of Fashion
View all projectsThis new home for UAL's London College of Fashion is conceived as a 21st century workshop; its design inspired by 19th century mill buildings common to many industrial cities. It is outwardly simple, unpretentious and robust while capable of containing multiple complex and process-driven internal arrangements that are continually adaptable to change. Bringing together an institution currently operating in six sites across London, this new move represents the first time that all of its departments will co-locate together under one roof. When completed, the building will be one of the largest dedicated to the study and research of fashion in the world.
