Supported the Next Generation of Textile Designers Through Collaboration with London College of Fashion. Graduation Collections Featuring FOREARTH-Printed Textiles Showcased at Graduate Exhibition.
Textiles printed using its sustainable digital textile printer, FOREARTH, were incorporated into graduation collections created by students at London College of Fashion (LCF), one of the constituent colleges of the University of the Arts London (UAL), and showcased at the students’ graduate exhibition.
UAL is internationally recognized as one of the world’s leading institutions for art and design education and has nurtured numerous renowned fashion designers and creative professionals, including Jimmy Choo and Stella McCartney. Within UAL, London College of Fashion is globally respected for its excellence in fashion and textile education.
The collaboration between Kyocera and LCF began in 2023 when FOREARTH was unveiled for the first time at ITMA 2023, the world’s largest textile and garment technology exhibition, held in Milan, Italy. As part of the exhibition, collaborative works featuring textile designs created by LCF students and printed using FOREARTH were displayed at the Kyocera booth, demonstrating the potential of combining the creativity of emerging textile designers with Kyocera’s innovative digital textile printing technology.
Since then, the collaboration has continued to evolve. In 2026, textile designs created by LCF students and printed using FOREARTH were exhibited at Milano Unica 2027 Spring/Summer, one of Europe’s leading textile exhibitions held in Milan, Italy. The partnership has developed around the shared values of sustainability and craftsmanship embraced by London College of Fashion, UAL, and Kyocera.
For the latest project, seven students from the BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles: Print course at LCF printed their original textile designs using FOREARTH and presented them as part of their graduation projects.
Drawing inspiration from themes such as cultural heritage, family memories, traditional crafts, urban culture, nature, and personal experiences, the students created distinctive and highly individual works. FOREARTH-printed textiles were incorporated into both the graduation collections and exhibition displays, enabling the students to bring their diverse creative visions and design concepts to life.
At the booth, we displayed a variety of fabric samples printed with the sustainable textile inkjet printer “FOREARTH,” along with works by the Italian fashion brand Florania, created using fabrics printed with FOREARTH.
These works were originally presented at Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025 and were introduced as examples showcasing the expressive capabilities and quality of FOREARTH in real-world fashion applications.
Through the exhibition of diverse fabric samples and finished products utilizing FOREARTH printing, visitors were able to directly experience color reproduction, texture, and overall print quality across different materials.
In addition, a live demonstration was conducted by connecting our showroom “FOREARTH Experience Studio” located in Milan, Italy with the venue in Barcelona. The demonstration highlighted not only FOREARTH’s printing speed but also its streamlined workflow, which is completed through printing and drying alone. This provided a clear and practical introduction to the system’s operability and productivity.
Furthermore, by sharing the printing process taking place in Milan in real time, the production workflow enabled by FOREARTH was visualized in a tangible way, offering visitors a clearer understanding of its creative possibilities and potential applications after implementation.
