I'm an experienced Fashion Management student looking for a 6-month placement to start this January. I'm in India right now on an exchange programme, having a great time learning about the other side of the fashion industry - production. So I'd like to come back to London/Europe and put to work what I've learnt.

Does anybody know of any opportunities within CSR or Supply Chain Management? For ethical companies I'm much more open to other types of jobs (Wholesale, Merchandising)

Hallo. I've just been accepted on the MA Fashion and the Environment course at London College of Fashion and my decision to accept falls on whether I can get enough funding. Does anyone know of any organisations, charities, brands etc that offer scholarships or bursaries? I'm currently leaning towards my study proposal involving research in to waste reduction and using innovative pattern cutting to create sculptural and wearable pieces that will last season after season. Any advice or links or contacts greatly appreciated. I have 3 weeks to make my decision!
