The Young Enterprise Programme combined with the ‘Getting it right first time’ initiative kick started their summer workshop with a tour of Graduate Fashion Week and here’s what some of the participants had to say:
Meanwhile, tomorrow (Thursday 14th June) 35 individuals will be introduced to the inner workings of TopShop. Back, after much demand, for a second run designers and industry professionals will get to hear how TopShop works with suppliers, their expectations and standards along with a buyers perspective of what works. Thanks to Caren Downie (Buying Director) for once again organising this fantastic opportunity.
The applications for Profile, which will be held in conjunction with Fashion Expo, have been pouring in. Over 70 companies applied after just one week of going live with the new dates and location. Profile bridges the gap between Graduate Fashion Week and London Fashion Week with an exhibition, catwalk show and competition. Hobbs will be the mainline sponsor and the event will take place at the Business Design Centre Islington, London on the 5th & 6th November. To apply click here.
