Competition for designers

The men's fashion brand Alain Delon is announcing a competition for fashion design students and graduates. The winner will have the opportunity to gain experience during a several-month internship with the potential for long-term employment in our company.

What should a candidate be like?

We are looking for students (already with a B.Sc. degree) or graduates of fashion design, ideally studying design combined with the study of marketing, management or business. The candidate should be ambitious, with the will and interest to take on responsibility. He/she likes to follow current fashion and can implement the latest trends in men's fashion in a way that suits the European market and our brand. In addition to creativity, the candidate should also have analytical thinking and a sense of organization. He/she must be fluent in English and Slovak or Czech.

Prize for the winner

The main prize for the winner is a 3-month paid internship in Bratislava . The internship involves co-creating a new collection that will be created during the given period. The intern will have a real influence on the choice of materials, design of cuts and other things related to the creation of the collection. They will also visit the production and will have the opportunity to see how our products are made. By co-designing clothes that will go on store shelves, they will have a great opportunity to see what challenges await a designer when designing products that go into direct sales. The intern will gain valuable experience in the fashion industry, with specific responsibilities from day one. A creative individual with an analytical mindset has the potential to be employed in a permanent position with us after completing the internship .
