Project Ethos produces red carpet events that showcase emerging talent in fashion, music and art all under one roof in one night. They have featured over 100 designers, 100 artists and 40 music acts in 4 years. They aim to expose the younger generation by giving them a place to display their work professionally on the runway, stage, and in an art gallery.

Are you interested yet? Well, they are interested in bringing on some interns.

Interns collaborate with designers and artists featured in our events to help them gain press exposure, sales and branding to local media and buyers. This is an amazing chance for students to network, develop valuable real world skills and get a better understanding of what the marketplace is like. Interns must be 18 years and older and dedicate 10-12 additional hours per week outside of work.

The American Red Cross Silicon Valley Chapter is hosting their very first Red Cross Wearable Arts Competition and they are looking for some talented fashion designers to enter. And by “talented” I am referring to all you fashion design students out there.

The American Red Cross “leads the way in providing relief to victims of disasters and helping people prepare for and prevent emergencies throughout the Silicon Valley.” That said the theme of the competition is “Disaster Preparedness and Response.”

The competition will be judged by industry big wigs and the winner will be based on how well the designer incorporates the mission of the Red Cross as well as the quality and visual effect of their workmanship.

The deadline for the first round of conceptual sketches of your design is February 18 - so you better jump on this quick and do us proud!

Complete details of the competition are available at www.siliconvalley-redcross.org.
