LCF hosts two world-leading UAL research centres, the Centre for Fashion Curation and the Centre for Sustainable Fashion.

Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE) at London College of Fashion brings together thinkers, creative practitioners, fashion business experts and doctoral students. We produce internationally recognised research that challenges assumptions about how the world is and explores what it could be.

Our research and knowledge exchange community connects people involved in RKE activities at LCF and across UAL, as well as with other organisations, communities and industry in the UK and internationally. Our community includes PhD students, early career academics, lecturers, senior lecturers, readers and professors.

Our research and knowledge exchange activities include:

  • research-led teaching and learning
  • practice-based and practice-led research
  • community-facing knowledge exchange
  • projects that contribute to innovation across the wider industry
