The quality of work from your students has been very strong again this year. In fact the best portfolio we have seen during interviews was from a KCC student.
Will Broome, Fashion Lecturer at Kingston University, 2019I am thankful I chose to do my foundation at Morley Chelsea (KCC), it has been the perfect supportive environment to experiment creatively, and learn skills to succeed as a fashion student. Foundation guided me in achieving my dream of getting into Central Saint Martins! I am grateful to have had Sue as my teacher and been part of such a talented class.
Jasmine Broadhurst (Fashion Knit CSM)I learned all the steps about fashion design and my teacher always motivated me. By the end of the course i found my own style and I got offers from the best universities in London. I feel ready to go to university now.
Serkan Brooklyn Cifci (LCF Womeswear Design Technology)My experience doing the foundation course is that I learnt so much in a year and that I have grown confidence in myself and in my work. This course and my teacher have always pushed me even and it has really prepared me for university . I am so thankful for doing this journey because I will carry these skills for university and later on in my life.
