Nigel has recently been course director of the Womenswear MA at London College of Fashion; a relatively new course, which has swiftly become one of the leading postgraduate programmes in the world and now shows in London Fashion Week. He is insistent that the craft and drawing skills are still maintained whilst developing each student to have a unique identity and vision. The students have been supported by highly skilled pattern-cutting tutors who also work for leading fashion brands and designers.
There are now so many fashion courses training so many students that it is important to constantly move forward and reassess what needs to be taught and learnt. My students each produce a zine and have a website, so they know how to introduce themselves and their work.
His experience includes working for major brands and stores both in the UK and Europe, producing designs for Harvey Nichols' own label and the uniforms for British Airways, as well as the trend directions for Cerruti.
