UK Young Fashion Entrepreneur Award
The British Council is inviting UK fashion entrepreneurs to sign up for its UK Young Fashion Entrepreneur Award (UKYFE).
Fashion entrepreneurs aged between 25 and 35 with at least three years experience of working in the fashion industry are eligible for the UKYFE. Candidates must be able to demonstrate their innovation in the UK fashion industry, and have a vision for extending business and cultural relations through fashion.
Successful applicants will get the chance to find out more about the international fashion business in emerging markets, with six finalists being invited to take part in a specially-designed tour of India’s fashion industry.
The tour will provide a real insight into the industry in one of the world’s fastest developing and most dynamic economies. The finalists will meet leading figures from the fashion industry in India and learn first hand about how business is done there.
NESTA is a partner in the award programme, which celebrates the valuable contribution that young creative entrepreneurs make to the development of a competitive and sustainable creative economy around the world.
Finalists will be announced on 24 October 2008, with the tour to India taking place in the first two weeks of December.
