14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has announced a new program called The Skype Collaboration Project that allows students, fashion fans, and designers to chat directly with some of the most important figures of this particular side of the industry.
Redmond will thus host instant messaging, video messaging and group video calls with the likes of stylist Bay Garnett, with fashion brand consultant Arieta Mujay, and award-winning textile designer Suki Cheema.
Photographer Teddy Fitzhugh, fashion illustrator Damien Florebert-Cuypers, luxury brand Apolis, London photographer Jonnie Craig, founder of Snap Fashion, Jenny Griffiths and Jen Mankins, owner of Brooklyn-based boutique Bird will also be part of the new project.
Starting with January, Microsoft will also use the Skype Collaboration Project to showcase Victoria Beckham’s business across the world.
“Skype is providing a front row seat as the team builds towards the Victoria Beckham Fall/Winter 2014 Ready-To-Wear show at New York Fashion Week. Following February’s NYFW, you’ll have an opportunity collaborate with Victoria Beckham herself, as she holds an ‘In Conversation With’ panel for which you can submit questions, and take away inspiration to apply to your own journey,” Microsoft said.
