London College of Fashion wins at the Green Gown Awards 2011
The Green Gown Award 2011 presented to LCF
Last night, 3rd November 2011, London College of Fashion triumphed at the Green Gown Awards 2011 with a second win in the Social Responsibility category, having previously won this award in 2007, and a Highly Commended in the Skills category. LCF and the Centre for Sustainable Fashion fought off tough competition from over 240 entries to continue their hugely successful track record at the seventh annual Awards.
The Social Responsibility Award was presented to LCF in recognition for its work with Her Majesty’s Prison Service (HMPS). Funded by Sir John Cass’s Foundation, the project partnered serving women offenders with students and staff from LCF enabling the women to learn valuable transferable skills in design and pattern cutting which in turn contributed to their rehabilitation. The award was picked up by Claire Swift, who headed the team from the School of Design and Technology in working with the female prisoners and Camilla Howarth who was responsible for leading the project. Building on the success of the Unique project, the second phase will take place in the spring term with the School of Media and Communications project taking place at the women’s prison.
The judges commented:
“London College of Fashion’s project is an excellent example of creating a meaningful and effective partnership …whilst small scale, the judges felt that the programme was effective in broadening horizons of staff, students and the often neglected women prisoners themselves. All the prisoners completed the programme and with plans in place for further partnership working, the panel felt that the model was highly transferable and could and should be replicated by other institutions.”
The Centre for Sustainable Fashion (based at LCF) came Highly Commended in the Skills category for their project London Style; a business support programme helping small and medium sized London based fashion companies embed sustainable processes into their everyday practise. The award was collected by Dilys Williams, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion and Nina Stevenson the Education and Curriculum manager for the CSF.

Exhibition: Sound Proof 4
Private View: Saturday 12 November, 2011
Time: 6 – 9pm
Exhibition: 13 November to 11 December 2011
Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Time: 12 – 6pm
Venue: Unit 1A Canterbury Court, Kennington Park Business Centre, London, SW9 6DE
Sound Proof 4 Exhibition
One year before the site of the 2012 Olympics is complete, Sound Proof aims to amplify its reach and extend the dialogue to Barcelona, site of the 1992 Olympics. For the exhibition this year, there are four commissions involving artists from both cities, featuring work by Leigh Clarke, Jon Fawcett, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, and a collaboration between Barbara Held, Yapci Ramos and Matt Davis.
Sound Proof 4 will present the commissions in one exhibition space. The co-existing installations will form a type of environmental sculpture; projecting the voices and thinking of the participating artists, and allowing the works to overlap and thus speak to each other through the context of the exhibition.
As London prepares to take its place as Olympic host in a year’s time, do Barcelona and London have anything to say to each other regarding site and legacy?
Broadcast on Resonance FM
10 November Thursday 5-5:30pm
13 November Sunday 12-1pm
The Sound Proof series is curated by Monica Biagioli.
