The headline movement away from grant funding to student fees provided through the Student Loan Company was well signposted, but with all such structural change the devil was in the detail, and there was a great deal of detail, much of it altering as we progressed through the academic year. Sadly the unique position of specialist Nicholas Durbridge institutions often appeared to be considered after the event, as Chairman with the late realisation that recruitment by ‘A’ level results is not a criteria by which we select our students.

Taken as a whole, these specialist universities have more than two thousand years of experience in teaching, learning and research in the subjects they offer. For our part, since our foundation in 1883, we have remained committed to a belief in the value of specialist provision and its outcomes in student achievement, staff research and industry engagement.

  • Caryn Franklin Is the Former I-D Fashion Editor Who Helped Bridge
    i-d live.qxd:Layout 2 29/01/2009 15:26 Page 232 i-D LIVE Caryn Franklin is the former i-D Fashion Editor who helped bridge the avant garde with the mainstream, when she took the role as presenter of The Clothes Show in 1986, a role she continues to this day with The Clothes Show Live. Interview Tricia Jones Introduction Ben Reardon WITH HER HEAD WRAPS and crazy clothes, Caryn Franklin blended cultures in one fashion look and represented London street fashion, the catwalk and the experimental, always in a cerebral and conscious way. Like a fashion superhero, Caryn used her powers for the greater good of mankind using her lofty fashion kudos and second to none knowledge to help raise awareness for worthwhile causes including Breast Cancer, eating disorders and size issues. Turning 50 this year, Caryn is looking better than ever, with her streak of grey hair and strong sense of style empowering women up and down the land. To prove the point, we asked some of Britain’s most important designers and editors what Caryn means to them and why she is important for British Fashion and caught up with the fantastic lady herself to speak about Jeff Banks, shaved heads and plastic surgery. When did you first become aware of fashion? I was aware of the power of clothes quite early on, because my mum was a great dressmaker and she occasionally dressed us all in identical clothes. I am the oldest of four sisters, and at nine, I would wear the same as my little sister who was still in nappies! In my passive aggressive way I would sabotage the look by wearing black plimsoles while all the others wore neat white sandals with their dresses.

  • Fashion Sessions
    Fashion Sessions Issue 1 The Indiscipline of Fashion Fashion Sessions The Indiscipline of Fashion The Fashion Sessions is the first in a series of publications and events produced to celebrate the creativity and concepts in incubation within the beating fashion heart of central London. Stemming from ideas formulated by the academic staff, students and creatives associated with London College of Contemporary Arts. This project has now developed to include collaborations with emergent creatives, fashion practitioners and established fashion voices discussing their opinions based around set topics. Welcome to volume one. ‘The Indiscipline of Fashion’ The sculpted shoulder of fashion has long provided a shelter for diverse thinkers, rebels, game changers and impassioned practitioners; expanding the boundaries of who, what, how and when fashion should be classified. Fashion as a subject has long been politicised by driven individuals forging their ideas in the manipulation of cloth, creation of provocative images, through the refined articulation of words within fashion media and the increasingly creative curation of the fashioned body within high street retail spaces. It has now splintered into a further realm which encompasses interactive media, smart fabrics, power bloggers, fashion film makers, performers and commentators within divergently much older and younger sectors. The Indiscipline of Fashion seminar and exhibition is an event which will consider these new rule breakers and past protagonists in sharp focus. We will present concepts from the provocative edge of fashion design, fashion culture, creative image-making, moving image, spatial design, research, journalism, entrepreneurship, activism and other areas which merge with fashion in a thought-provoking, rebellious or intellectually innovative way.
