On Saturday 21st September, some of our GCSE Art students, their parents and our Art teacher, Miss Patricia, attended a specialist workshop at the JCA London Fashion Academy. Jimmy Choo himself led the specialist workshop, where he shared his expertise in illustration, textures, materials and styling. Jimmy Choo also shared his inspiring story on the journey from his humble beginnings to building an international fashion powerhouse. He personally encouraged each of our students to be confident and work on developing their creativity. The GCSE students found the course and specialist advice inspiring, allowing them to use this as vital research for their current Art projects. Jimmy Choo also did a beautiful shoe illustration which he signed and gifted to the Knightsbridge School Art department, to display in our studio, for all to see.
Sarah and Ava (Y10) have both qualified for the next round of the Jimmy Choo Academy’s National competition for their excellent dress designs.
They have both been invited to attend a specialist workshop with Jimmy Choo, to help them with the next stage of the project.
