I am in the process of applying for a grant to start a clothing line but I need the expertise of some outside help:
1) A pattern maker for 10-20 patterns, to help make and to help with size and fit,
2) An assistant to assist me with making small details, running errands and sourcing for suppliers, retailers and press, marketing related things, and event organization, making press kits.
3) A Seamstress to help sew samples and help with making small details.
4) A computer person, who can do html, and make changes to and enhance/design my website and some basic graphics for hang tags, and press kits.
-The line is edgy, 20 something market, rockabillyesque dresses, baby dolls dresses,
cute tops and skirts, it is called Lady Like.
I have worked in fashion and assisted designers in the development and production of clothing collections, this will be my first run with my own collection to be sold in stores.
It will be fun and interesting.
I will be learning as I go at times, as you may be too but I will try and communicate the vision as well as possible to you. Not much time will be involved. 20 hours a week max.
Here’s the Deal:
Criteria:
-need to be 16-29
-need to have not been in school for 4 months and not going to be in school
-live on the island of montreal, be a resident
If you were on EI at all in the last 3 years and you are not a student and between 16-29 and you sign on and fill out forms and can give the project 20 hours a week, you will get about 820 $ for living a month, for you and will get it during the year long duration of the grant. If not it will most liekly be about 300 $ a month.
I am in the process of applying, I have done this program before, the chances are good,
I just need to round up my team and get all the paper work filled out.
I would prefer people who qualify for the EI portion of the grant, so I know you are getting something and taken care of.
Otherwise, If you are willing to partake still without much revenue, and fill out the forms to help a sister out
And will accept the “having helped create a company and a new montreal designer, and the learning experience” as payment enough I would be interested in meeting you too.
It could still benefit you.
Depending how fast I find the participants and we get the forms filled out , we could be beginning February 1st.
If you are STILL interested and fit the criteria, and what I am looking for, let me know.
