Teaching and Professional Fellowship Report 2007/08 : Combining student, staff, industry skills and experiences, to facilitate a commercial venture

Having visited a number of international trade fairs for fashion and homeware, staff
and students involved with Surface Design courses at LCC had begun to realise the
importance for our students and emerging young designers to be represented at
such occasions. Encouraged by students’ enthusiasm, we decided to exhibit at
Indigo, part of Premier Vision, which is an international trade fair recognised by the
fashion textiles trade, held in Paris twice a year. Indigo is where individual designs
are sold to fashion houses and manufacturers. It attracts a diverse audience of
buyers and agents for a variety of products, and its reputation ensures a well
attended show.

'Teaching and Professional Fellowships In Support of The Student Experience' and 'CLIP/CETL Fellowships' are to encourage individual staff's learning and development in their chosen field of endeavour so as to be of benefit to the University.
