Paris-based trade show Who’s Next Pret-A-Porter Paris has announced a collaboration with online designer platform NOT JUST A LABEL (NJAL). The Future of Fashion Program aims to provide a launch pad for 20 emerging designers to grow internationally. From NOT JUST A LABEL’s international portfolio of over 14,000 talents worldwide, 10 accessory and 10 ready-to-wear emerging designers will be selected to take part in this opportunity to exhibit for up to four seasons at the WHO’S NEXT trade show in Paris as well as benefit from guidance and mentoring from top fashion industry professionals for two years. The 20 selected contestants will showcase their autumn / winter 14-15 collections at the January 2014 WHO’S NEXT trade show. Each season these designers will be judged on their creativity as well as their business capacity to market their collections by the program’s mentors including NOT JUST A LABEL founder Stefan Siegel, Olivier Arrighi CEO of FIDANCIA, Salman Khokhar CEO of KOKA CONSULTING, and WHO’S NEXT sales directors Sophie Guyot for the ready-to-wear, and Sylvie Pourrat for the accessory sectors. Applications should be made online from now until December 12.
