Meet with industry at The Careers Quarter
The Careers Quarter is a new addition to Graduate Fashion Week 2026. A dedicated space where final-year fashion graduates connect directly with industry professionals, through a series of 15 minute, structured one-to-one conversations across the event days.
For graduates and students:
The Careers Quarter is open to all final-year graduates attending Graduate Fashion Week 2026. Register in advance to secure your place and be first in line for a morning slot. Walk-up places are available on the day, subject to availability. The six disciplines are Design, Media and Image, Comms, Marketing, Talent Hiring and PR and Brand.
On the day, you will have two 15-minute conversations with professionals working in your chosen discipline. Sessions are structured and purposeful, giving you the chance to ask real questions, receive honest feedback and make genuine connections. If you would like to connect with a second discipline, afternoon walk-up places are available on the day, subject to availability.
Before your sessions, you will receive a preparation guide to help you get the most from the day. Post the event, every participant receives a resource pack with follow-up guidance and networking support.
For industry professionals:
Over the past 35 years, Graduate Fashion Foundation has supported more than 100,000 newly graduated and undergraduate students into the fashion industry. The Careers Quarter is an invitation to be part of that work, directly.
We are looking for senior professionals across Design, Media and Image, Comms, Marketing, Talent Hiring and PR and Brand to join us for one day at the Truman Brewery - 15th, 16th or 17th June 2026. You sit at a discipline table alongside industry peers. Graduates come to you in small structured groups throughout the day. You are there to have honest conversations, share your perspective and meet the people who are about to enter your industry. Before the event, we send a full briefing so you arrive prepared. On the day, lunch and breaks are included.
