Getting it Right First Time

The workshops then show practically how to develop a garment from an idea right through to the actual delivery of the garment; stage by stage, with full back up and support from Fashion Enter and specialists.

 

The seminars have been developed for different levels of participants and have included secondary schools (Langley Park School for Boys), Youth Projects (YEP and Head 4 Business), educational establishments including Croydon College of Higher Education, Kinston  College, Ravensbourne College for Design and Communication and Media, Salford College and many more.

 

GIRFT has been funded by Equal

Cutting IT, brings together a unique collaboration of partners who reflect the driving forces in the UK fashion and textile sector. The project recognises the diversity and exceptional issues facing clothing manufacturing in the UK and focuses on supporting businesses through change, allowing companies to adapt to changing market conditions, breaking down barriers and creating collaborative solutions.

 

Without the Equal funding these seminars would not have occurred and many participants, over 300 in total, would not have received vital information which stops designers making mistakes and then shows them how to run their business successfully by getting jobs completed effectively and Right First Time.

 

Many guest speakers have been involved in these seminars and talks including:
