The connections between the fashion and business worlds continue to get stronger, and now London's College of Fashion has announced that it is launching a Fashion Business School.

The British Fashion Council has stated that the fashion industry is worth £26bn to the UK economy. "Recent UK government policy statements claim that economic growth is reliant on universities, and in particular Business Schools, engaging with micro, small and medium enterprises," LCF says.

The new Business School will join LCF's existing business, management and enterprise functions together, and the aim is to create "the next generation of fashion industry leaders."

Professor Frances Corner OBE, Head of London College of Fashion and Pro Vice Chancellor of UAL, says: "By launching the Fashion Business School at London College of Fashion we can contribute to the development of the UK business schools and be a leading player in the global business school market. Our unique focus across the fashion industry sets us apart and means we can push boundaries across creative management research and practice."
