London College of Fashion unveils outdoor exhibition in Soho

As one of the world’s most vibrant districts, Soho is known for its diverse art and culture and this week unveils an exciting outdoor exhibition with works from 10 students from London College of Fashion (LCF), UAL.

LCF leads the world in fashion business, media and design education, and has been nurturing creative talent for over a century.

Following a project brief, the students from the BA (Hons) fashion imaging and illustration course were selected.

The 10 illustrations celebrate the history of Soho through the eyes of the students and include bold vibrant street scenes, as well as themes of punk, music and fashion.

The 250ft outdoor exhibition is located in Berwick Street and Hopkins Street on the hoarding of a development site.

The students were chosen by a panel including Simon Quayle executive director Shaftesbury and Lindsay Pentelow, creative director, School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion.

Lindsay Pentelow said: “These bold and eye-catching illustrations capture and celebrate the history of this iconic street and its position in the centre of Soho, while also looking into the future of its development.

“The illustrations are a way to help celebrate the rich heritage of London College of Fashion in this area of London.”
