Zalando Fashion Scholarship, UK

Zalando Fashion Scholarship

At Zalando, we believe that the best and most powerful ideas come about when individuals are given the freedom to create something entirely new. We refuse to be boxed in, break with tradition and prefer unchartered territory to established approaches – we continue to challenge how we work and strive to keep reinventing ourselves. We’d much rather take a leap into the unknown than stay stuck in the same place forever. And we never stop learning. We thrive on change, strive for the best, and are determined to offer Europe’s best online shopping experience. For us, if we’re not moving forwards, that means we’re moving backward – and never more so than now – in the digital era we live in. As a dynamic and rapidly growing company, we are proud of our strong, international team full of brains, skills, and people from all over the world. New ideas and new ways of thinking: this is what fuels us. Now here’s where you come in: we want you to tell us how YOU see the future of fashion in a fast-paced online world. Be creative and let your ideas run wild – the only limit is your imagination! Tell us how you see the future of fashion in e-commerce. Our jury will select the most creative and most powerful idea and the winner will be rewarded with a scholarship of £5,000. Get inspired and surprise us with your innovative ideas about the future of fashion e-commerce.

THE TASK

“How will e-commerce influence the fashion industry in the future?”

Put your thinking cap on and write a 1500 (min.) – 2000 (max.) word structured analysis on the topic.

You have totally free reign to choose an approach so do try to be creative. Try to take advantage of your own academic background, using your own skills, experiences, studies, and interests to help you bring fresh insight to the topic. You don't have to be a fashion student to apply: The Zalando Scholarship is open to students of any University course, who can show they have a passion for fashion and great ideas for the future of e-commerce. Whether you're studying business, marketing, fashion, or something else entirely, we welcome your most creative and innovative ideas.
