UKFT Live Project winners announced

 

The winners of UKFT’s Live Project, a collaboration between the University of Westminster and the UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT), have been announced today, with successful students awarded industry placements at leading UK fashion brands. Three students from the University of Westminster MA Fashion Business Management course scooped accolades for their global marketing strategies created for leading UK fashion brands, Tatty Devine, Okun and Peaks of London. Hui Kristensen, Marie-Alice Lavergne and Vali Liu are the three UKFT Live Project winners and have each secured a work placement with the brand they successfully pitched to. They were presented with their prestigious awards by MP Damian Collins at an award ceremony yesterday at UKFT’s London head office. The project, which is part UKFT’s commitment to working with young talent in the fashion industry and lobbying government for better skills and training, challenged students to create a global marketing campaign enabling the fashion labels to successfully break into new global markets.
