Fashion Fringe’s latest soles
Wednesday, May 07, 2008

(LONDON) Fashion Fringe has helped launch and bolster the careers of London’s top design talent since its inception in 2004. But one must address style from head to toe, right? As such, a new footwear category has been introduced to the event, created by IMG (parent company of Fashion Week Daily). Shoe aficionado Rupert Sanderson has joined forces with the design initiative to offer one talented designer a six-to-10 month apprenticeship with his company, which includes a month-long stint at his factory in Italy. Applicants may apply online through June 13. Five finalists will be selected to interview on June 23, where they will face a prestigious judges panel chaired by Manolo Blahnik.

Fashion Fringe’s platform has served to reinvigorate the city’s fashion industry. The program became even more exciting earlier this year when Donatella Versace signed on to chair the competition.
