GFW Launches Protégé Project
October 23, 2017 -
Graduate Fashion Week is launching a scheme to support the winners of the annual event by pairing them with a long-term industry mentor.
The Protégé Project’s mentoring panel comprises volunteer professionals from the fashion industry within areas such as retail, design, manufacturing, business management, PR, media, marketing, legal and recruitment.
Graduates will have access to their mentor for two years starting from November and will meet in person for in-depth mentoring sessions every four months.
The selected mentor will be based on the graduates’ application form and pre-screening.
Mentors include: Drapers editor Keely Stocker; Gemma Metheringham, creative director of Label/Mix at Next; Peter Ruis, CEO of Jigsaw; designer Henry Holland; Julian Fuller, head of menswear design at Debenhams; and former Finery brand director Caren Downie.
