Two weeks ago, the brand new Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design opened its doors in London, offering two courses: the ten-week Vogue Fashion Certificate and the yearlong Vogue Fashion Foundation Diploma. The new college's main selling point (which they are promoting aggressively via social media) is that students get an unparalleled insight into the fashion industry, with the staff of Condé Nast's numerous U.K. publications being lined up as speakers and mentors. The courses are also making use of Condé Nast's contacts outside the company — at this weekend's British Vogue Festival, Sir Paul Smith mentioned he would soon be speaking at "that posh college."
Posh is one word for it. Fees at the college are astonishingly high compared to more established London institutions. For the diploma, students will pay £23,472 (approximately $36,351). Down the road at Central Saint Martins (whose alumni include Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and Christopher Kane), fees for the same qualification are only £3,500 ($5,420) for European students and £10,800 ($16,726) for international students.
The Cut spoke to principal Susie Forbes to find out why the college has opened, what it has to offer, and why she believes that studying with Condé Nast is worth the designer price tag.
