River Island and Graduate Fashion Week

Graduate Fashion Week is unique in that it celebrates the very best in new and up and coming design talent in the UK and abroad (Incidentally GFW is the biggest fashion education event in the world!) We are thrilled to be involved as title sponsor for the 5th year in 2009. Working with GFW gives us the opportunity to put something back into the fashion industry and it gives all the graduates a fantastic opportunity to showcase their work to the best of the whole fashion industry.

The UK has the largest creative sector in Europe and here at River Island we employ new graduates every year into a variety of creative roles across all areas of our business. From design to visual merchandising and marketing to buying, GFW gives us the chance to find the best talent around.
