Pringle of Scotland is launching a design competition in conjunction with the British Fashion Council (BFC).
Those who may apply are students from the BFC Colleges Council design courses. The competition requires them to design five or six outfits for either a womenswear or menswear capsule collection.
They will then show their creations to an advisory board of UK and international press and buyers, and BFC's Caroline Rush.
The overall winner will score a six-month, full-time position working under Pringle creative director Clare Waight Keller, plus £1,000 cold hard cash. Not bad huh?
You must get your entry in before 11th December 2009.
