The Water Gardens is delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with Harlow College by supporting their annual Fashion Show. This year, we arranged an exclusive day-in-the-life experience for the winning student at River Island Headquarters. This unique opportunity provides the student with invaluable insights into the inner workings of a leading fashion brand and exposure to the wider fashion industry.

A Day at River Island Headquarters

The winning student will get a behind-the-scenes look at River Island, gaining firsthand experience of what it’s like to work at a major fashion brand. From understanding the design process to seeing how collections are brought to market, this experience is designed to inspire and educate the next generation of fashion professionals.

Celebrating Creativity and Community

In addition to this incredible opportunity, The Water Gardens donated £100 for the after-show event, ensuring the celebration was a memorable one for all participants. We also ran a competition where attendees could win a gift card to spend at The Water Gardens, further engaging with the community and supporting local talent.

Showcasing the Winning Design

We are excited to announce that the winning student’s design will be prominently displayed in a showcase pod at The Water Gardens. This display will allow visitors to admire the creativity and hard work of the Harlow College students, highlighting the exceptional talent emerging from the college.

A Strong Partnership

Our partnership with Harlow College exemplifies our commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering meaningful connections within our community. We believe in the power of education and real-world experiences to shape the future leaders of the fashion industry.
