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.
