The essence of Jimmy Choo simmered throughout the halls – Just like Jimmy would have wanted; ‘a creative wave with precision…’
‘Effortless yet never-ending elegance. Beyond today, perusing never ending possibilities for the trajectory of the 2026 Jimmy Choo graduates.’
Jimmy Choo’s educational philosophy and recurring ideas were evident at the show and they included:
Becoming and transformation – are you the same before, during and after graduating?- The Journey of the Jimmy Choo graduate rides the wave of creative formality stamped ready for the big wild world of the fashion market.
Emerging creative identity – Jimmy Choo emerged with a wave and finished with precision – we saw that with graduates silhouettes coming to life…
Luxury craftsmanship
Fashion entrepreneurship – Graduate brands with logos, essence and ethos. Demonstrating how far the industry has come with fashion entrepreneurs supporting each other. Individuality and self-expression
combining and complementing fashion education and forward looking industry.
These ideas align closely with “coming of age” concepts, which is why terms such as Becoming, Emergence, Awakening, Transformation, and Rite of Passage fit naturally with JCA’s graduate shows.
The designers were selected from across JCA’s fashion and accessories programmes and were chosen to represent the academy’s emphasis on craftsmanship, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The event connected graduates with buyers, media, and industry professionals. That it did – the atmosphere was supportive, collaborative and welcoming.
