Young designers learn new skills at LCF summer school

30 lucky Year 9 students from five Hackney schools (Cardinal Pole RC, Hackney Free, Mossbourne Community Academy, Stoke Newington and Our Lady’s) attended a week-long summer school at LCF’s Mare Street site from 6 to 10 July. The course explored fashion design and business. The students worked in 6 teams and competed to come up with the best Olympic 2012 inspired fashion t-shirt and products. They took part in mini-lectures, got to grips with research, marketing and promotion and even made their own mini-t-shirts. On the final day they presented their ideas and designs to a panel of judges.
