The JCA I London Fashion Academy, in partnership with Oxford Saïd, has announced the shortlisted designers for the School’s new staff uniforms.
Open to JCA’s undergraduate designers, applicants submitted their design proposals before the contest deadline on 4 April. Valeria Peeva and Maxi Purton, Nona Cunningham, Niamh Nowlan, Cherlyn Ornika and Kinar Ornika and Alexis Izinyon have been shortlisted by the judging panel, consisting of University of Oxford staff, including uniform wearers, JCA staff and Oxford Saïd MBA students.
Tania Hanniford, Oxford Saïd’s Head of Brand, led the judging panel. She said: ‘We were all so impressed by the creativity seen across all the entries. Their interpretation of the brief and the confidence with which they all presented their work was truly inspiring. In the end it came down to literally a fraction of a percentage points to decide the shortlist. We now have a very hard choice ahead of us to decide on the winning design, but whatever the result, the School will soon have a fantastic new look that we can be proud of.’
