This week I was lucky enough to attend this year’s Drapers Next Generation event for the second time.
It is an amazing event that is a Draper’s initiative to aid, advise and inspire people in their first/second jobs and it really did inspire me listening to all these amazing people in the industry.
Topics and speakers included:
Julie Dean – Cambridge Satchel Company
Michael Sharp – CEO Debenhams
Paul Marchant – CEO Primark
Scott Morrison – Marketing Director Diesel
Andy Rubin – CEO Pentland Group
Stephanie Phair – Managing Director Outnet
Simon Burstein – CEO Brown’s.
For any one starting out the industry I would highly recommend keeping an eye out for applications to next years event which will be bigger and better than this year, which is a tough feat.
So thank you to the lovely Drapers team, you certainly gave me insight and a new determination for the fashion industry.
