High street retailer, Debenhams, is launching a campaign to find a budding child fashion designer.
The Edinburgh store is searching for an eager youngster living in Edinburgh to design a t-shirt for the SS17 collection.
The creative concept for the shirt can be anything the child chooses.
The initiative aims to tap into children’s creativity, by allowing them to design clothes that they want to wear, not just what parents want them to wear.
The judging panel for the competition will be made up of Shani Delargy, Head Buyer and Lesley Budris, Head Designer at Debenhams.
To have the chance to see their design featured on a t-shirt, all future fashion designers must enter via post or email by Friday 26th of August.
The winner will be gifted a deluxe shopping experience, as well as a £150 gift card by store manager Karen Smibert.
She says; ”We’ve decided to ask the children of Edinburgh to help us usher in a new wave of fresh young talent that will help us bring a first for the brand.”
