The WORLD’s her internship
An Otago Polytechnic fashion student has been chosen for a new, paid internship at WORLD – New Zealand’s most
progressive and philanthropic fashion brand.
Ivy Jackson-Mee, a final year student of the Bachelor of Design (Fashion), is delighted to have been chosen for the
internship. “I’m completely overwhelmed! This means everything to me. WORLD’s such a successful business, and I’ll learn
such valuable skills. It will set me up for life!”
Professor Margo Barton, from the School of Design, says Ivy’s philosophy is that fashion’s for everyone. “Her designs
aren’t only for slim 18 year-olds, it’s for any shape, size and age. It’s a really beautiful match with WORLD”.
Denise L’Estrange-Corbet, WORLD Director, says the ‘WORLD person’ is “forward thinking, unafraid, a boundary pusher and
happy in their own skin.” She says WORLD chose Ivy because her end of year capsule was a good insight into what she
does. “We felt her collection was totally wearable for the ‘now’ consumer and could be adapted in many different ways.”
The role is a collaboration between WORLD and the Newmarket Business Association, and is worth $5000 over two months.
Ivy’s internship will start towards the end of January 2017.
