In this series, LCF's Fashion Archivist Susanna Cordner sits down with creditable fashion industry guests to discuss their sartorial choices, careers and work. The guest brings one item from their work or wardrobe to discuss in detail.

This time, our guest is Ellen Rock, a print designer who uses story-telling and combines traditional craft with contemporary art.

A designer rooted in community and responsibility - she is an advocate for handcrafted processes. Ellen's international work combines digital and hand rendered graphics with traditional artisanship techniques and has developed projects with communities in Indonesia, Guatemala and Nepal to date.

Organized by

London College of Fashion, UAL

With our philosophy of open and inclusive education, we encourage students to examine the past and question the present. To develop inventive, assertive ideas that challenge social and political agendas. And we give them the skills, opportunities – and above all, the freedom – to put those ideas into practice.

As well as shaping the leaders of tomorrow, we’re transforming the industry from within. Through boundary-pushing research, we unite design, science, engineering and technology, to redefine fashion. Our Student Enterprise programmes, business incubator, and industry collaborations form a dynamic network to help our enterprising graduates launch and grow businesses.

Now that we have moved to a single purpose built site on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, we’re forging partnerships, opening up opportunities, and creating connections with east London’s schools, community and industry. Part of East Bank, a new culture, education and innovation development, our single-site campus will spark collaboration, experimentation, and inspiration – all under one roof.

In doing so, we’ll continue to pioneer how we all consume and practice fashion. Use fashion business, media and design to shape culture, economics, and society.

And through fashion, shape lives.
