The Kenneth Cole Footwear Innovation Award has an important mission. The post graduate fellowship program aims to help young designers put their best foot forward (pun intended) as they begin their careers in fashion. The selected fellows receive a year of mentorship and hands-on experience working at Kenneth Cole’s Headquarters, a sure-fire stand out item on any young designer’s resume. Blake Felty of Fashion Institute of Technology and Kara Kroeger of Kent State University have filled the prestigious fellowship positions for this past year. Now, Kenneth Cole Productions is searching for the next young designer(s) to fill their shoes. The application process is now open through April 10. More information about submitting an application can be found here. And be sure to watch the video to hear more from Kenneth, Blake and Kara!
