See You At Skills London 2015

12-11-2015   


 

skillslondonFashionCapital will be at Skills London 2015 with an interactive stand for students to learn what it takes to produce a garment from the initial idea right through to delivery. The garment life cycle display will demonstrate the possible career options available within the industry and the FashionCapital team will be on hand to discuss exactly how to gain experience and achieve these career goals. Students will learn about the fashion and textiles apprenticeship programme and the companies offering apprenticeships as well as the benefits of training for a qualification whilst simultaneously working in industry and being paid. For those seeking a more practical and hands on approach we will also be discussing the Stitching Academy, Perfect Patten Cutting, Machine Maintenance and Production courses at the Fashion Technology Academy. 

26 aug machine courseTeachers visiting the stand will also have the opportunity to learn about our unique and inspiring factory visits for cohorts of students. A two hour factory tour enables students to experience a live factory operation and see first-hand what it takes to manufacture a garment all within a fully compliant British factory. 

In 2014, Skills London attracted 32,490 visitors and featured over 45,000 job opportunities, including Apprenticeships, 196 exhibitors including top name employers, colleges, training providers and advisers. The 2015 event takes place on 13th & 14th November.

Skills London 2015 brings careers, jobs, training and the world of work to life. It’s more than just a chance to hear about careers it’s a chance to try new skills, take testing challenges and learn about all the options open to you in London.

The whole event is split into zones to help you navigate your route to success.  Colour coded to help visitors find their way round, each zone offers a flavour of what careers, training and help is available in that industry or sector. Get Skilled stands in the zones let you try hands on activities and take away inspiration and souvenirs!

DESIGN A PERFECT PARTY OUTFIT

As part of FashionCapital’s interactive stand we will be inviting students to design their perfect party outfit:

Here’s your chance to be a fashion designer and design your perfect party outfit with FashionCapital. In our interactive display you will be taken through the complete garment life cycle and learn how an initial idea is turned into a final garment. You will have the opportunity to create a sketch using the inspiration provided and guidance from the FashionCapital team. 

Your design will join the wall of entries on stand number 1022 where it will be later judged by a panel of industry experts. One design will be selected as a winner based on trend, colour, silhouette and fabric. The winning design will be produced in our North London factory!

Make sure you visit us on stand 1022 if your school is attending Skills London 2015!
