This new video messaging is proving a big hit already and also shows what is capable with the video conferencing for mentoring will look like too…bit daunting at the time though looking into a tiny camera! Over to Catharina…

We have now confirmed the designers for the unique manufacturer’s workshop.

Only 30 places were available but we have managed to squeeze in another 5.

In total over 80 applied so we are running the workshop again in April.

Vanessa has all your contact details.

However, the lucky participants this time around are:

There will be three dates for this work shop, one for the Florentia Clothing Village trip, one to Euro Trim Ltd where you can take your production problems and discuss them with the factory owner and finally a trip to TopShop head office to meet the head of the production. We will be confirming the dates by the next newswire.

Many thanks to The University of Salford…

It was a great seminar on Monday and the Getting It Right First Time format was a big hit with the students there. We will be also working on another project later on in the season too with Bashir. The students are visiting Antwerp shortly and we will be posting articles about this design orientated trip by the end of February. All good stuff!

Also thanks to Ravensbourne College too for confirming their workshop Getting It Right First Time too. These seminars are made possible due to funding from the EQUALS programme so hearty thanks to Justine Wright and Chris Lee.

Finally with miserable weather and a generally quiet retail environment don’t forget to take advantage of our special half price offer to have you own ecommerce boutique.
