Why choose us?
Central Saint Martins is a world-leading centre for arts and design education. Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally. The nine programmes at CSM explore the boundaries of their discipline. Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas, and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject, so emerging work is at the forefront of its area. CSM sits at the heart of London's creative scene, and of one of Europe's most dynamic new culture and innovation quarters at King's Cross, making the college increasingly important to London's cultural life, and indicative of our general desire to open up CSM to as broad an audience as possible.
The world leader in luxury, LVMH has deployed a business model marked by dynamic growth since its creation in 1987. It is the only group present in all five major sectors of the luxury market: Wines & Spirits, Fashion & Leather Goods, Perfumes & Cosmetics, Watches & Jewelry and Selective Retailing. The LVMH group brings together 70 exceptional Houses, which create products that convey savoir-faire and preserved heritage while remaining firmly anchored in modernity. These creations make our Houses ambassadors of a distinctively refined art de vivre. As a family-run group, LVMH strives to ensure the long-term development of each of its Houses in keeping with their identity, their heritage and their expertise.
LVMH has for the past 20 years anticipated and adapted production processes, habits and behaviors, working each day to find better solutions to the many environmental challenges our industry faces. Products created by the Group's Houses are made from natural and often rare and exceptional raw materials. The design and manufacture of luxury products not only requires innovation, creativity and production excellence, but also environmental performance. These values, which originate in the unique heritage of our Houses, are perpetuated through the expertise and commitment of our environment teams. The LVMH Environmental Department has been working closely with our Houses for over 20 years to achieve exemplary environmental performance.
