Maison/0
Maison/0 is the Central Saint Martins–LVMH creative platform for regenerative practice, established in 2017. The partnership brings together education and industry to support emerging talent, advance creative practice and prototype regenerative futures.
Working across all creative disciplines at Central Saint Martins, UAL, Maison/0 is shaped by deep engagement with the LVMH Maisons and the Group’s LIFE 360 environmental strategy. The partnership also connects with Central Saint Martins’ Schools of Thought, creating opportunities for students and academics across C School (Culture), S School (Systems) and M School (Material).
Our vision
"At the heart of Maison/0 is a shared commitment to change. The partnership is founded on reciprocity and the belief that education and industry can learn from one another.
Our ambition is to harness the power of creative collaboration to address the climate and biodiversity emergencies, and to empower emerging talents through creative education to shape a regenerative future"
Professor Carole Collet
Director, Maison/0

Central Saint Martins has a long-established history of collaboration with the luxury group LVMH. In 2017, we formalised our strategic partnership to better support creative talents and activate cross-fertilising regenerative initiatives. In 2026, we have renewed our partnership for a third time.
Why Maison/0? Our partnerhsip platform is named in recognition of the historical and cultural significance of the Maisons at LVMH, and ‘0’ symbolises the will to reset our creative practices to re-imagine a regenerative future.
Our pillars
Our work is structured around 4 pillars:
LVMH Scholarships
Four full scholarships are awarded annually to students within the Fashion Programme in M School, supporting access to creative education and the development of emerging talent.
Maison/0 Schools Challenge Fund
The Challenge Fund brings together students from C, S and M Schools to respond to specific environmental challenges, using their diverse disciplines and practices to explore new ideas and approaches.
Student Engagement, Events and Awards
A programme of cross-College activities creates connections between students, academics and industry while strengthening professional development and employability, including:
- Annual symposium
- Dedicated campus day
- Annual Green Trail and This Earth awards: recognising outstanding graduate projects demonstrating nature-positive approaches.
Knowledge Exchange
A fourth pillar focuses on knowledge exchange. Bringing academic expertise into dialogue with LVMH, Maison/0 develops design-led projects that prototype regenerative practices and explore new approaches to circularity, materials and ecosystem restoration.
