Fashion Space Gallery
London College of Fashion's public contemporary exhibition space, exploring fashion and design as art and cultural phenomenon since 2010.
Fashion as Art,
Culture & Discourse
Located directly behind Oxford Circus within London College of Fashion, Fashion Space Gallery has been a critically rigorous contemporary exhibition space since 2010. We present a popular programme of changing exhibitions engaging with fashion and design in its widest sense.
The gallery was launched to a public audience in 2010 to host presentations of work by leading practitioners in the field, alongside themed group shows, performances, and installations. Our ethos is one of excellence and innovation, supporting both established artists and cutting-edge emerging talent.
The space provides London College of Fashion students and graduates with an inspiring and thought-provoking platform to discover their contemporaries. The exhibition programme is free of charge and is supported by a programme of events, artist talks, lectures and performances.
Our History
Between 2003 and 2009, Fashion Space Gallery was programmed with initiatives from academics and researchers at London College of Fashion. These included solo exhibitions by LCF researchers such as artists Lucy Orta and Helen Storey MBE, fashion photographer Mark Lebon, and fashion illustrator David Downton.
Group shows drew upon the college's rich archives, including Archiving the Century 1906–2006 and exhibitions of student projects. The gallery established its public identity in 2010 and has since grown into one of London's most important spaces dedicated to fashion as both art form and cultural phenomenon.
From 2013 to 2020, the exhibition and events programme was led by Director and Curator Ligaya Salazar, who developed strategic initiatives and partnerships with institutions including the Barbican, the V&A, and FOAM Amsterdam.
