We Are One Today - PARTY!
1st August 2010
We Create* is one year old today - PARTY!
It was 365 days since we started the first project by opening a We Create* pop-up shop in Birmingham to retail designs developed by local young up-and-coming designers.
Since then we've run another pop-up shop and design studio in Wolverhampton, 12 pop-up stalls, swap shop event and a series of creative workshops for young people in the local community interested in fashion and design.
We are in the process of compiling the first We Create* Annual Report highlighting the projects achievements as well as future up-and-coming projects for 2010/11.
We Create* Annual Report to follow - PARTY!
Many Thanks and Kind Regards

We Create* Annual Report
10th August 2010
The first We Create* annual report has been produced highlighting the organisations social and financial achievements for the last 12-month and also future project developments for 2010/11.
As always we want to continue to help promote and develop projects to retail designs developed by young up-and-coming British fashion designers - as well as help individuals from disadvantaged and socially excluded backgrounds interested in fashion and design.
We Create* aims to continue to develop a sustainable solution to this until the right platform and model is here.
