Anya Media launches Pure London design prize

If you are one of the many aspiring designers currently looking for a big break in London, Anya Media is offering graduates and young starters the chance for immediate international recognition amongst press, buyers and digital platforms.

The online retail agency, is offering one talented fashion designer, the chance to win a prize to display a selection of their work at the Anya Media stand, at this season’s Pure London event.

The successful applicant will need to have available a small collection of completed samples designed for the Spring/Summer 2013 season to grab the attention of the attendees and exhibitors at Pure. The selected designer will be given the opportunity to showcase their collection during the event via live demonstrations on Anya Media’s innovative new Runway™ online merchandising tool. The new online merchandising solution, dubbed Runway TM, which aims to reduce the risk involved in stock buying and selling, was launched earlier this year.

It’s a significant opportunity for the chosen candidate, whose design work will be launched into the fashion stratosphere, both physically and through digital means – as Anya Media has an interactive online feature, which enables information and visual graphics to reach potential customers, visiting the event.

“We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented designer that wants to stand out from the crowd by putting their work in the ‘shop window’ at Pure,” says Anya Media managing director, Christina Grzasko.

“We foresee this being the perfect platform for a budding designer to get their work in front of over 12,000 buyers from independents, multiples, department stores and online retailers and to guarantee commercial return post-show.”

To take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity, designers should apply by email to purelondon@anyamedia.co.uk and include their C.V; details of the collection they want to exhibit; and a brief description of how they would use this opportunity to further their own career.
