Could you hear the roar? When the announcement came that London had won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games the roof at Excel visibly shock. What a fantastic result for the UK!

FashionCapital and LFF are currently at the Skillcity Exhibition at Excel and the expected 120,000 turnout is definitely an under estimated either that who they have all flocked here within the first few hours of opening. Our stand at CR29 was mobbed with wanna-be fashionistas! This is where www.fashioncapital.co.uk knows no boundaries. The site has a full listing of all educational courses for FE and HE institutions for fashion, clothing and textiles complete with a hyper link into the relevant educational website for a quick and speedy response.
