The WORLD’s her
internship
An Otago Polytechnic fashion student
has been chosen for a new, paid internship at WORLD – New
Zealand’s most progressive and philanthropic fashion
brand.
Ivy Jackson-Mee, a final year student of the Bachelor of Design (Fashion), is delighted to have been chosen for the internship. “I’m completely overwhelmed! This means everything to me. WORLD’s such a successful business, and I’ll learn such valuable skills. It will set me up for life!”
Professor Margo Barton, from the School of Design, says Ivy’s philosophy is that fashion’s for everyone. “Her designs aren’t only for slim 18 year-olds, it’s for any shape, size and age. It’s a really beautiful match with WORLD”.
Denise L’Estrange-Corbet, WORLD Director, says the ‘WORLD person’ is “forward thinking, unafraid, a boundary pusher and happy in their own skin.” She says WORLD chose Ivy because her end of year capsule was a good insight into what she does. “We felt her collection was totally wearable for the ‘now’ consumer and could be adapted in many different ways.”
The role is a collaboration between WORLD and the Newmarket Business Association, and is worth $5000 over two months.
Ivy’s internship will start towards the end of January 2017.
