Congratulations are in order to the two fashion design students Lea-Maria Nahas and Diala Dabbous for winning the Inas Abou Ayyash Foundation (IAAF) Best Entrepreneurial Project 2018, an award that was competed for by students from different departments and faculties of the university.
In February 2019, the Dean of the school (Elie Haddad), the Chair of the Department of Art and Design (Randa Abdel Baki) and the head of the Fashion Design program (Jason Steel) went to a 3 day visit to see the LCF facilities across London, their incredible equipment and technology and how they are being used.
In what can be described as a fun, interactive and quirky talk, Karen Heard, a London College of Fashion Academic, shared with the room how an idea grows from a thought or interaction into a full fledged multi-facetted project.
The talk has been the culmination of two projects proposed by Heard to the first year students and seniors.
Meet Joan Baz, whenever she is not at LAU giving courses in animation, illustration or other graphic design related subjects, you can find her in her design studio Cardamon working on one of her many exciting projects.
Angelique Sabounjinan, instructor at the fashion design department is on the path of changing the current perception of the modeling industry and is surely challenging all notions in our markets with the aim creating awareness around openness and acceptance
