Asda offers jobs at Fashion Week - graduate jobs

Graduates looking for jobs in the fashion industry have been given a chance to kick-start their careers at Graduate Fashion Week.

As students from across the UK head to London to showcase their work, the event will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a star-studded gala on Wednesday.

The show's new title sponsor, George at Asda, will be offering 62 graduate jobs in design, merchandising, buying, marketing and international - equivalent to 11% of its current workforce.

With guests set to include Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Laura Bailey, the glittering gala could provide the perfect career opportunity for the future fashion elite.

A spokesperson for George said: "George has always been passionate about fashion, but we are also passionate about educating young talent and the next generation of creativity.

"We will be helping to nurture new talent by championing the many routes and careers available in this fantastic industry and also encouraging the students to consider the possibilities of working for a big brand like George.

"These students are the emerging designers of tomorrow and at George we are delighted to be able to support their future careers."
