Competition | Make Your Mark in Fashion

Posted by fashionentrepreneurreport On Thursday, June 19, 2008
Make Your Mark in Fashion was launched in October 07 as a national competition to find the next generation of socially and environmentally aware fashion entrepreneurs. The competition was open to teams of young people aged 14 –30 and attracted entrants from all over the UK, ranging from young fashion professionals to school age students.
 

Nine leading ethical fashion businesses signed on to be the Make Your Mark in Fashion mentors: Ciel, Junky Styling, THTC, Terra Plana, Enamore, From Somewhere, Makepiece, Juste, & Liv.


Mentors chose one team to represent them at the Make Your Mark in Fashion semi-final held on 17th April 08 and sponsored by The British Council. At the event three finalists were chosen to work with their mentor business to produce their range for showing on the catwalk in Fashion Week September 08. 




The Finalists
:.Miawi for Junky Styling
Miawi are a team with a social and environmental conscience, using second-hand clothing sourced in Malawi as the basis for their range and then combining the recycled fabrics with traditional Malawian textiles.

:. Berrie for Enamore (above image)
The key to the Berrie brand ethos is to have fun whilst offering high quality and sustainability in equal measure. The Berrie range will feature beautiful original prints, vintage styling, and luxury fabrics.


:. R.A.J.E for THTC
The R.A.J.E team site influences as diverse as Japanese culture and British wildlife. Having carefully considered how best to apply their individual skills they conceived an original range of clothing designed to cater for different women's body shapes; it's a truly sustainable and innovative concept.
