Graduate Fashion Week is pleased to announce that SHEIN, one of the world’s largest online fashion retailers, will sponsor the People’s Choice Award for the first time ever. The People’s Choice Award allows the public to have their say on their favourite designer from the final top 25 collections from across the week through SHEIN’s website. The winner will be announced on 1st July and they will have the opportunity to showcase their collection at the Graduate Fashion Week Houses of Parliament reception this Autumn, as well as exhibiting at London Fashion Week this September and launching a capsule collection of the winning designs to be sold on SHEIN’s online store.
SHEIN will be present at the four-day event with a stand in the exhibition space, where brand representatives will be available to meet with students. For the duration of Graduate Fashion Week Shein will also be interviewing applicants for an exciting ‘Design Intern’ position, which will see the chosen candidate receive a six-week placement at the SHEIN’s UK head offices with full time pay, as well as designing a capsule collection and accompanying its production in China.
“We are incredibly excited to have SHEIN as a sponsor for the first year ever. Not only are they offering a fantastic internship opportunity, they are offering one design student the chance to create their own capsule collection, which gives the student a great step up into the world of work from education. This is one of our primary aims here at Graduate Fashion Week and so we’re thrilled that Shein are partnering with us on this,” said Martyn Roberts, Managing & Creative Director at Graduate Fashion Week.
GFW is the world’s largest event for BA Fashion talent and will be taking place on the 2nd – 5th June 2019 at The Old Truman Brewery, Shoreditch, London.
