Welcome to JCA

The JCA Retail Gallery Store is a first-of-its-kind student-led retail store that is part exhibition and part pop-up store in collaboration with the esteemed Berkeley Group / St James. The project differentiates the JCA from other institutions as it provides the opportunity for designers of all years a raw and immersive introduction to the complexities of entering the marketplace.

From concept to high street

Haute Couture

From concept development to execution, participants will gain firsthand insight into what it takes to successfully launch a brand, build customer relationships, and engage in commerce. Graduates of the JCA are also eligible to participate in the Retail Gallery Store and e-commerce site as part of the JCA’s mission to support designers during and after their studies.

The JCA Gallery

The JCA Retail Gallery Store is a curated collection of one-off pieces from the talented designers at the JCA. The exquisite and timeless pieces on sale at the store are responsibly made from upcycled materials as the academy strives to be a leader in sustainability. The innovative craftsmanship on display is an inspiring example of the next generation of design talent.
