In response to growing uncertainty around the future for the next generation of creative retail talent, Retail Week has launched an exciting new collaboration with the London College of Fashion and the Cloud Retail Week Conference.

Assuming the role of Creative Directors of British fashion clothing brands, students will construct a marketing strategy around the conceptual theme of Brand Britain for 2012 and present this live to an industry-led judging panel made up of iconic retail leaders at the Conference on March 14.

The expert judging panel will be made of retail entrepreneurs, creative visionaries and business leaders whom will provide invaluable insights and constructive critique for the presenting students at the Cloud Retail Week Conference at the London Hilton Metropole.
