We are excited to announce, for the second time in a row, our collaboration with The Assembly Hub to present the #Passion2Purpose competition.

The assembly is an African-based community and platform for ambitious young talent, entrepreneurs and professionals in the fashion and creative sector. Through their projects, they encourage creative entrepreneurs to create socially and economically viable enterprises by removing barriers to creative and professional development.

So, what’s the competition all about?

This year’s theme of Passion to Purpose takes on last year’s objective a step further. “We are looking to expand the focus of our community to their impact on their surroundings. This year we plan to discover, explore and reward the hard work of Fashion Entrepreneurs within the community, as they create a positive ripple effect through their operations,” The Assembly says.

Through this competition, the aim is to shine a light onto those unique business models that are socially conscious and prioritize their impact on the community, locally and globally.

The winner of the competition will be awarded a £500 discount off any one of our short courses at London College of Fashion.
