23rd December 2024

Looking back on 2024, it's been an incredible year here at the Fashion Retail Academy! Here are some highlights that made it such a stand-out year:

a brand-new campus

One of our our most exciting moments in 2024 was moving to Electra House, our stunning new campus! Double the size of our previous campus, it includes:

  • A larger library, six lecture theatres, and bespoke studio spaces
  • A professional photography studio, digital suites, a creative lab and a discovery nook
  • A secret indoor garden, on-site café and a dedicated speakeasy exclusively for our degree students

Electra House is an inspiring, creative space designed to help students thrive. It's the perfect place to launch your fashion career!

MASTERCLASSES with TOP Brands

This year, leading brands like Marks & Spencer, Vivienne Westwood and Odd Muse hosted masterclasses for our students. These sessions offered invaluable insights from industry experts and gave students a firsthand look at what it's like to work in the fashion industry.

real-world PROJECTS

Our students also worked on real-life projects set by big names, like Stella McCartney, LOOKFANTASTIC and ASOS. These projects gave them practical experience and a taste of what it's like to work within the industry. 

New Course launches

Earlier this year, we launched our first ever postgraduate degree in International Fashion Marketing & Communications - a one-year programme designed to refine your skills in global marketing, communications, advertising and strategy, preparing you for success in the international fashion industry. You can start studying our MA course in September 2025.

We also introduced brand-new short courses, covering topics such as data analytics, buying and merchandising, and personal styling. They're perfect for quickly gaining essential skills and kickstarting a career in fashion. 

celebrating our graduates

We also celebrated the graduation of our 2024 cohort - a fantastic group of students who have completed their two-year journey with us. The ceremony took place at the stunning Goldsmiths' Hall. We can't wait to see what they will accomplish next and are excited to watch them shape the future of the fashion industry!
