Lecturer in Fashion Styling and Production

The opportunity

The Lecturer in Fashion Styling and Production is responsible for teaching, curriculum development, and ongoing scholarship on the Fashion Styling and Production course. This course is part of the Fashion Media programme and School of Media and Communication, at the London College of Fashion. The post-holder will work collaboratively within a course team, deploying specialist expertise in styling and production to develop pedagogy with a focus on climate change and sustainable fashion styling and production and the processes of both.

Within your area of expertise, we ask you to inspire and excite our students, bringing to life the technical and theoretical aspects of your field, providing solid industry experience. Through research-led inquiry and creative production processes, you will inspire this emerging future generation of creative storytellers with energy, drive, and commitment. Your practice should consider values of ethics, diversity, and sustainability as part of your fashion thinking, to support creative solutions for future-facing narratives. You thrive within the current fashion, arts, and image-making platforms and are coherent in both current and upcoming thinking for the evolving field of sustainable fashion styling and production outcomes. You will be a team collaborator, with excellent communication skills and hold an authentic interest in creative arts.

About you

As a professional industry practitioner, you will hold a relevant degree and will be able to demonstrate significant creative success and specialist knowledge in fashion styling and creative production, in multi-faceted disciplines and emerging platforms. You will be forward-thinking and visionary, with an understanding of the changing demands of the industry and a contemporary approach and understanding of image-making, in relation to contemporary fashion styling and production. Your portfolio of work will question the status quo and you will be a significant contributor to advancing your area of expertise.

A relevant postgraduate qualification will be an advantage, while industry experience is essential. Experience in higher education is required.
