Silent We Shout fashion platform

Fashion graduate platform Silent We Shout aims to give guidance and support to talented fashion designers to establish and develop their careers within the industry. Together with retailer Warehouse, the company offers a lifetime opportunity, enabling graduates to break into the highly competitive fashion industry.

For a hand-picked selection of fashion designers, chosen by industry specialists as the future stars of tomorrow, Warehouse offers fashion graduates the platform to launch their careers at an inaugural three day showcase and retail platform at the Old Truman Brewery in East London from 11-13th September 2009.

On the look out for new talent with innovative and creative ideas, Warehouse recently held a nationwide talent search to support a design graduate and the opportunity to join the brand and see their designs put into production and sold in store. Warehouse’s involvement in the project will enable young designers to gain that essential knowledge that can make the difference to a long and successful career in the competitive industry of the fashion world.

Regular showcases combined with an online retail platform to present their latest collections and designs, will enable the budding Matthew Williamson’s and Vivienne Westwood’s of the future break into an industry. Silent We Shout is a 'not for profit' organisation and 100% of the retail revenue generated by sales both online and at the showcases will go directly to the designer.

“Silent We Shout is a fantastic initiative offering graduates an incredible opportunity to showcase and sell their work, an undertaking of such value having worked so hard towards creating their graduate collections. This worthy and very exciting initiative highlights not only the strong, professional and innovative presentations and collections of many successful graduates but creates a one-of-a-kind chance for these graduates to sell these on to professionals within the fashion industry.”
