Why is it so important to have events like this?/ How do we give back to our school community
There is alot of unknown/gatekeeping/secrets in the industry, we are 17 students who all understand the struggle of breaking into the fashion industry, and it is important that students get a fair chance in breaking into the industry by being put in rooms with the right people, and getting all the tips and tricks on how to work in fashion. We are the only student club at Concordia that hosts these events/ help students break into fashion/create opportunity.
What is this raffle?
The raffle ticket you were given when you enter, make sure you keep it, and we will announce the winner before they keynote speech. It is for a L'intervalle gift card.
