Pringle of Scotland Design Competition

The British Fashion Council (BFC) and Pringle of Scotland have announced the Pringle of Scotland Design Competition.

Design students can apply to win an invaluable prize to help develop their career and industry knowledge.

The competition prize includes a full-time, paid, six month design position, giving the winner the opportunity to work alongside Pringle Creative Director, Clare Waight Keller.

Students from BFC Colleges Council leading design courses are invited to design five or six outfits for either a womenswear or menswear capsule collection; these designs will be put to a panel of expert judges for consideration.

Students will present their collections during an interview with an advisory committee which draws from a pool of leading UK and International fashion press and buyers in addition to Joint Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council, Caroline Rush.

"Students will be judged on their research, design ability and clear understanding of both Pringle of Scotland's heritage and its positioning as a contemporary, luxury brand," Caroline commented.

"Pringle is a highly accomplished British brand and the experience that this competition will give the winner is invaluable.

I would like to thank Pringle for launching this valuable initiative."
