Kurt Geiger CEO and internship winner on how the brand’s academy is changing the learning landscape

Joel Anokye has become the first full-time internship recipient of Kurt Geiger’s Business by Design Academy, an initiative the footwear and accessory brand set up last year in order to support young, underrepresented talent in entering the fashion industry. Anokye was one of 20 to take part in the first edition of the educational business course, which brought participants directly under the wing of Kurt Geiger’s own team over the course of a seven-month period.
