Art colleges in the age of full grants brought in a bigger mix of people, but in the age of fees etc I think the social make up has changed upmarket <based on not much, but a vague impression
Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

We didnt have to pay a premium for the latest dive into capitalism but the rent is 65K pa for a shop with a basement and a flat above. The rent of the flat above offsets some of this but it's not much. Admittedly it's in a posh area but it's common for shop rents to be huge in all but the grimmest areas. Most shop properties are owned by large ish property companies, their only concern is making a buck, self repairing lease, were responsible for everything. Gutters, boilers, walls, painting, japanese knotweed, the lot.. And we are definitely not a vanity project. No rich parents just a fecking huge overdraft and sleepless nights worrying about it all.
Not middle class wankers, an ex nurse and an IT bod. Well maybe middle class, but not wankers with a trust fund.
I've viewed the opening of FandC in Brixton with mirth. Almost the equivalent of opening a Bong Shop concession in Harrods.

Seems pretty accurate to me.
My niece, who lives in Brixton, is a graphic design student at Chelsea College of Art and the classmates of hers I have met are very well off.
She'll get invited to their parents' sprawling homes, often abroad, and find it tricky because her mother can offer only a Wiltshire bungalow in return.

If it was the only thing they were selling, they'd fail but I get the impression they are similar to the meat place which seems to be packed when I've seen it. Anyone for a cheese board?

Posher than the Slade School? Royal College of Art sounds quite posh too

Is that in Clapham.. I'd never heard of it until similarly, we were on our way for a swim and there was a massive queue.. on a Sunday morning.. for breakfast? What a stressful bloody start to a Sunday that would be!
This shit is being organized by somebody that numerous witnesses have claimed shouted 'niggers can't read'. And was barred. And is now looking for google results.
Support that. Or support bubbly and cheese. Both are rubbish but I can't ever condone that kind of shit. Up to you.

Agree. I think lots of potentially-high-earning-but-very-low-earning-in-the-early-years careers are becoming more and more exclusive- eg all of the arts but particularly film, TV, fashion- as only the offspring of the wealthy can afford both the fees and to do a couple of unpaid internships/work experience placements to boost their CVs. Or to start work on a pitifully small salary- particularly as so many of the organisations are London based. Its pretty depressing

Not sure if there is that many potentially high earning careers in fashion. I did my fashion degree nearly ten years ago, part time whilst working full time for the first two years. Did my fair share of free work. If my life hadn't crashed around me afterwards then who know where I would have got to! Had to work for next to nothing and get over being poor. That is why I am Queen of the charity shops!
