Jimmy Choo’s academy hopes to inspire tomorrow’s entrepreneurs
A new higher education facility dedicated to fashion will open its doors in London in September, partly funded by shoe brand owner Jimmy Choo.

The JCA | London Fashion Academy will offer a syllabus inspired by Professor Jimmy Choo's experiences in building his own luxury brand and will offer mentoring by “recognised design leaders”.

Jimmy Choo said: "London is a global fashion hub and has created many of the world's most exciting and ground-breaking designers. Rarely though do these designers leave higher education armed with the combined knowledge, skills and resources needed to create, launch and build brands successfully on the global stage. 

"The Academy will help bridge those gaps and nurture internationally-focused and highly entrepreneurial design talent.
