Article by

Fashion designers and those aspiring to become designers are invited to register for a one-day export readiness workshop being held by the Barbados Cultural Industries Development Authority (BCIDA).

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 31, and is being hosted by Fashion and Creative Consultant, Richard Mkoloma.

Anyone interested in participating should present a fashion portfolio including samples of clothing and information on current production capacity. They must show evidence of resource readiness to meet any potential export opportunities and present information on current market penetration strategy.

Those selected to participate in the workshops will be expected to spend up to 90 minutes with the consultant and attend a brand and product strategy lecture.

To register, anyone interested should email kimbutcher@cidabarbados.org, no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, July 20.

Spaces for the workshop are limited, therefore, priority will be given to those who fulfil participation requirements. For more information call BCIDA at 535-7770, or email kimbutcher@cidabarbados.org. They may also visit the website www.cidabarbados.org. (BGIS)
