Volunteers needed!
| |
Mercedes-Benz Start Up is a program that provides a national platform to discover and support emerging Canadian fashion designers who have been in business for less than five years. This year, the Mercedes-Benz Start Up program will be holding one of its Semi-Final events in Quebec City on June 4th and 5th.
The program invites selected designer applicants to showcase their collections in front of a panel of industry experts. These panelists then choose up to five (5) designers to show their capsule collection for the Semi-Final Runway Show on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012, from which they will choose one designer to move forward in the program. This designer will then present their full collection as part of the Mercedes-Benz Start Up National Final at World MasterCard Fashion Week in October 2012 in Toronto.
We are seeking approximately 30 students to volunteer at the Mercedes-Benz Start Up Semi-Finals. Volunteer positions include but are not exclusive to:
-Assisting with set up
-Backstage dressing
-Assisting designers
-Seating and Greeting Guests
-Registration
We feel this would be an excellent way to expose students to the world of fashion events, and make valuable contacts in the Canadian fashion industry.
Please have interested students forward their information to janna.paterson@imgworld.com, and I will send additional volunteer information to those willing to participate. If you would like any additional information on the program, do not hesitate to contact me or visit www.mercedes-benzstartup.com.
