This summer, vitaminwater is offering a bunch of incredible opportunities to young creatives. The #shinebright initiative will pair up six cultural entrepreneurs from fashion, music, design and media with aspiring creatives, whom they will mentor and support in a series of exciting projects. Among the first wave of those stepping up to mentoring roles will be Susie Lau, whose fashion blog Style Bubble has won her worldwide acclaim, and Mikey Trapstar, founder of iconic streetwear label Trapstar. The rewards are looking to be massive.
On top of 1-on-1 mentoring, Susie will be offering one lucky candidate the chance to work with her at London Fashion Week. “I’m looking for someone with loads of energy, who sees fashion from an analytical and artistic point of view. I can’t wait to see this come through in the #shinebright entries. London Fashion Week is an amazing opportunity if you’ve never experienced it before,” she said of the project.
Meanwhile, Mikey will be offering young designers the chance to showcase their designs in a London pop-up store; an invaluable kick start to those hoping to launch their own fashion brand. He had this to say: “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to give back to the community and give up and coming talent the platform for exposure that I got when I started out. I’m really excited to collaborate with fresh new designers to help them get to the next level.”
Also up for grabs is the chance to work with musician/architect/designer Jenny Grettve in her Sweden studio, a 1-on-1 photography workshop capturing the streets of Paris with Theo Gosselin and more.
