CSM Library is screening archive fashion shows. With a graduate fashion show archive spanning over 40 years, many a fashion legend has sent collections down our runways. This time, we will be screening our MA 2010 and 2011 shows. These include stars like Daniel Lee, Simone Rocha, Phoebe English and the duo behind Marques Almeida. Join us at CSM Library First Floor (Pods A-D) at 3pm on Wednesday 13th May. We hope to see you there!

We have an Easter Bunny
Who's ever so funny.
They're hopping and lopping
With ears that go flopping.
Their basket is brimming
With chocolately cheer.
They'll be hidden in the library
Will you find them there?

The library is rocking, the weather is rocking, and our library displays are totally rocking! There's no better place to be inspired by culture, fashion, and music than @lcflondon_ library.
One of our latest displays is incredibly curated by library staff. It is a physical and visual document to the battle jacket. This curation contains London College of Fashion Library special collections and a battle jacket kindly lent to us for this display.
Come and take a look - the display can be found at the top of the library stairs as you enter the library space on level 2.
