Graduate Fashion Foundation has announced the continuation of the successful Graduate Fashion Protégé Project for 2018/2019. A scheme especially created to provide ongoing support for 25+ award winning graduates of the Graduate Fashion Week event, which showcases each June. The mentoring programme is aimed to provide support as they enter into the fashion industry, by pairing them with a long-term experienced industry mentor. The mentoring panel for The Graduate Fashion Protégé Project, consists of volunteer executive professionals from the fashion industry, within areas such as retail, design, manufacturing, business management, PR, media, marketing, legal and recruitment. The mentors will provide the graduates with advice, guidance and career support. Graduates starting out in the industry will have a relationship with their mentor for two years from November 2018 and will meet in person for in-depth mentoring sessions seasonally, approximately every four months. Graduate Fashion Foundation has paired each winning graduate who has expressed interest in the mentoring programme with a selected mentor, based on their application form and pre-screening. GFW is the world’s largest event for BA Fashion talent and next year’s event will take place on the 2nd – 5th June 2019 at The Old Truman Brewery, Shoreditch, London.
