These themes were prominently showcased during the event, reflecting LCF's commitment to addressing the changing needs of the industry and society.
The celebrations continued with live presentations of work from various specialized courses, including the UK's sole BA (Hons) Bespoke Tailoring program. Hosted at Protein Studios in east London, these events underscored LCF's diverse technical design pathways and paid tribute to its origins as a network of London trade schools.
