Call for Apparel Designs

UM Business student Seth Samuels is developing an apparel line featuring unique, creative takes on the university through innovative design cues.  The goal is to create a line of apparel that accurately and creatively represents the university on a more fashion-forward canvas, complements of the student body.

We are looking for students who can accomplish the following - Designs that evoke the memories, images, and emotions that resonate here at the university, from marching with the band to simply chanting “The Victors.” Being that we all have a unique perspective on what the school looks like to us, the possibilities aren’t too limited.

Just as a brief background, our inspiration has come from Louis Elbel, the composer of “The Victors” in 1898 when Michigan defeated the Chicago Maroons.
Please submit a resume and 3 to 5 samples of your designs to Seth Samuels .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)  Please limit the size of the files to less than 9MB A link to your URL is also acceptable.

The deadline for these initial submissions (initial because we would like to get off the ground with a few-rollout designs, but we’ll be welcome to more in the future), is January 3rd, 2010.

Specific compensation has yet to be determined as product numbers and sales projections have yet to be determined. However, being in startup mode, developing a team, as well as a % commission can be part this compensation.
