The Fashion Technology Academy (FTA) operates under the Fashion-Enter Ltd umbrella, as a social enterprise we understand that working collaboratively with others makes for a win win situation. Last year, September 2021 the design team at Designworks contacted us requesting the use of our Alvanon fit mannequins and facilities and of course we said ‘yes’. In return Designworks are generously provided a financial donation towards the Fashion Technology Academy.
Robin Crossley from Designworks explained: “Designworks is an award-winning rapid design, development, and manufacturing business with over 30-years’ experience across a range of sectors. We love delivering innovative products, building meaningful brands, and bringing game-changing experiences to life.
“Our design team were recently introduced to FashionCapital by Alvanon UK. The introduction will benefit both parties and with support from the FashionCapital workspace shall allow our business to further improve our offerings for designing innovative medical wearable smart garments, which will have a positive impact on people’s lives.”
This month, October 2022, Andrea and Robin from the Designworks team were back again to use our facilities and in return they have generously agreed to sponsor a Level 1 student at the Fashion Technology Academy to cover the costs of their course.
Andrea said:“Thanks to Fashion-Enter for the use of your facilities to allow our business to further improve our offerings for designing innovative medical wearable smart garments which will have a positive impact on people’s lives.
“Designworks Windsor is an award-winning rapid design, development, and manufacturing business with over 30 years’ experience across a range of sectors.
“We are delighted to sponsor one of your Level 1 students to cover the cost of their course.
“Fashion-Enter has a great ethos and core beliefs, Designworks are similarly likeminded and are always keen to upskill individuals from all walks of life, particularly those at the start of their careers.”
Jenny Holloway CEO at Fashion-Enter Ltd (FEL) responded: “Collaborating and working together is what we strive to be about. We have an open door policy here at FEL and will accommodate external requests where possible. The Designworks team have been working on designs that really benefit quality of life and that has to be supported. A big thank-you to Designworks for providing the Level 1 sponsorship this will enable a lucky individual to gain excellent skills in the fashion production sector.”
