CCCG Fashion Academy partner Jenny Holloway of Fashion Enter wins Sustainable Fashion Champion Award

Jenny Holloway, founder of Fashion Enter is awarded Sustainable Fashion Champion at the Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards.

Jenny Holloway, founder of Fashion Enter, was celebrated for her remarkable efforts as she received the Sustainable Fashion Champion award at Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards. This year’s event took place on 13 March at the Hilton London Bankside following the Drapers Sustainable Fashion Conference. 

Now in its fourth year, Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards recognise the hard work of those aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry and create fairer working conditions across the supply chain. The awards highlight those committed to best practices within the industry and are judged by an independent panel of experts and underpinned by the United Nations-backed Sustainable Development Goals.

Jenny Holloway said: “To be recognised by the industry at the Drapers Award event on Wednesday 13th March was fantastic – to be nominated as the Sustainability Champion made me realise how long our journey has been over the last 18 years and what a team we have. Most of our Directors have been with FEL [Fashion Enter Limited] for over ten years and they are positively awesome! In any business, you have ups and downs but this senior team is special and they keep me going. We all have the same ethos – we can and will do better and be an outstanding company that changes the way fashion operates.”

Capital City College Group’s (CCCG) Fashion Skills Academy works closely with Fashion Enter to deliver exceptional training for students working towards careers in the fashion industry. Fashion Enter is a unique social enterprise, providing a centre of excellence for sampling, grading, production and for learning and development of skills within the fashion and textiles industry. CCCG works in partnership with Fashion Enter’s Fashion Technology Academy (FTA), which provides qualifications and apprenticeships for learners across a range of levels. Using the facilities and equipment available at Fashion Enter, students have the opportunity to design, manufacture and distribute garments – all with sustainability in mind.

Jenny said: “Everyone knows now that Fashion is the world’s second dirtiest polluter. The old ways of selling cheap and packing the shelves and internet high is long over. People are more discerning than ever before and are proud to upcycle, recycle and repair and that’s why we have achieved so well with the Level 1 and 2 Stitching and Pattern Courses with CCCG. Today we are more focused on the consumer than the retailer and etailers – we want to forge a way ahead that now combines education with our manufacturing expertise. This means centering on one-piece flow, and micro-factories and using our amazing suite of Style3D for AI in fashion! We are looking forward to a brighter future for an ethical and sustainable way forward in fashion today with our partners CCCG.”
