North West Teens Visit Fashion Enter

 

The group are visiting the city as part of Style Factory fashion programme, designed to give young people an insight into the real fashion industry.

Around 15 students who are expected to achieve the highest grades in GCSE Textiles will be taking part in the trip.  The highlight of the visit will be a seminar at the Fashion Enter workshops and factory during which the group will get a unique, hands on experience of fashion design and manufacture.

The students, from The Heath School in Runcorn, will be spend three days in the capital and will also visit Graduate Fashion Week, the Fashion Retail Academy and the V & A Museum.  The excursion has been designed to provide inspiration for Textiles GCSE coursework and also to show the students the many career options offered by the fashion industry.

Style Factory gives young people an insight into a career in the fashion industry through workshops and courses in schools and communities.

The workshops are led by fashion experts and encourage teens to explore their creativity and enterprise by producing and marketing their own fashion and accessory collections.

Style Factory is the brainchild of fashion journalist, Caz Moss, who set up the company with the support of the Princes Trust after realising young people were unaware of the range of career options available within the fashion industry.

The company have now developed Media Factory and Music Factory to open up these industries in the same way.
