Meet our ambassadors

What is a Young Patterns-ambassador?

Our ambassadors helped design this project. As a student or young employee in our fashion industry, they share their ideas and concerns with the team.

  • And they promote Young Patterns! They are:
  • Motivating young people to get started in the fashion industry
  • Promoting Young Patterns
  • Making their own job / study visible
  • Advising Young Patterns on the needs of young employees
  • Present at all very relevant gatherings
  • The organisers of “Fashion Flows”, the netwerkevent
  • The ambassadors are the voice of generation Y & Z.
