MR PORTER FUTURES

Applications are open now for MR PORTER FUTURES, a new global menswear designer mentorship.

Built around MR PORTER’s 10th anniversary themes of craftsmanship, discovery, inclusivity and community, MR PORTER FUTURES is open to anyone across the globe and aims to identify and nurture new design talent from outside the fashion mainstream, breaking down the barriers to luxury fashion by drawing eligible candidates from an international pool, and selected through an initial anonymous application review process. The goal is to discover original voices, lift new talent and introduce them on a global stage. 

Three selected designers or duos, will undergo a year-long programme of workshops and one-to-one coaching, benefiting from access to leading mentors in the fashion industry alongside MR PORTER’s in-house team of buyers, designers, and creative and marketing experts. Beyond the mentoring and coaching, each designer will gain the essential marketing and retail skills required to build successful, standalone brands in an increasingly competitive marketplace, while also designing, developing and delivering their very own responsibly sourced and produced collections, to be made globally available on MR PORTER in September 2022. 

Applications are open now and will close on 6 June 2021. Explore further at MR PORTER FUTURES.
