You are invited to join De Montfort University and their Graduate Businesses in Contour Fashion where graduate designers, Elissa Poppy, Posie Upshall and Roshni Desai, will be speaking about their experiences in growing their businesses and brands. Taking place on this THURSDAY 21ST OCTOBER at LCB Depot from 6.00pm these graduates will share their expertise, experience and passion to anyone who is considering starting up in business or indeed who are already in business. These 3 business owners benefitted themselves from business advice and support aimed at graduates and are enthusiastic to share that knowledge.
This live streamed event (apply for your ticket/s here from Eventbrite) is just one initiative of The Design Season at Leicester. It is the aspiration of LCB (Leicester’s Creative Hub for individuals and businesses) that creative businesses are better represented through collectives and networks with fashion being no exception.
“DMU Contour Graduates have a long tradition of acting as mentors and helping those more recent graduates,” commented Gillian Proctor (Associate Professor for Enterprise) and we have in Leicester the greatest number of start-ups in the country, second only to London.”
