Graduate Fashion Week is proud to announce that global denim and apparel brand Levi’s® is partnering with Graduate Fashion Week in 2018, sponsoring the long-established Vivienne Westwood Ethical and Sustainable Award alongside introducing a new Graduate Talent initiative. With innovation, creativity and sustainability at the heart of the brand, it was a natural fit for the brand to sponsor Graduate Fashion Week’s Vivienne Westwood Ethical and Sustainable Award which will be judged on Wednesday 6th June by a panel of industry experts. The winner will be announced on the catwalk at the famous Gala Award Show that same evening and Levi’s® will honour the winning graduate with a £750 prize as well as a further £250 to the winning graduate’s university.
In collaboration with GFW, Levi’s® are looking for the next generation of original thinkers for the chance to be part of the Levi’s® Brand Legacy under the name of LEVI’S® GRADUATE TALENT PROGRAMME. The iconic denim brand is offering three one-year, full-time graduate placement opportunities across their London and Stockholm head offices. Graduate Talent roles are Tailor Assistant, Merchandising and Planning Assistant and Marketing and PR Assistant.
Richard Hurren, VP Levi’s® North said: “To partner with Graduate Fashion Week is an incredibly exciting opportunity. Having been at the centre of culture since 1873 and a part of the fashion narrative for generations, Levi’s® has constantly sought to engage with youthful optimism and our most seminal moments as a brand have been when we’ve been at the heart of the generational cultural and social zeitgeist. This is a great experience to be a part of to engage with graduates and meet with the next generation of talent who will shape the global community and business of fashion.”
Levi’s® will also have an interactive stand at Graduate Fashion Week giving graduates the opportunity to receive career advice, including tips on how to improve their portfolio and CVs. In addition, there will be further recruitment opportunities for graduates to explore within the company as well as engaging talks within the GFW Talk Live! studio with key industry and team members. GFW is the world’s largest event for BA Fashion talent and will be taking place on the 3rd-6th June 2018 at The Old Truman Brewery, Shoreditch, London.
