O’Neill recruitment survey.

Teen Vogue, O'Neill Begin Generation Next Project

Teen Vogue and O’Neill are about to embark on our 3rd annual Generation Next project. Each year, Generation Next selects 5 talented and driven high school students (sophomores and juniors) to participate in the program. Teen Vogue and O’Neill then mentors these students on the ins and outs of design and marketing. An invaluable hands-on experience and a definite resume-builder. The 5 selected finalists will have the opportunity to:

• Design their own dress or romper, as well as an accessory, and ultimately have them produced
• Learn all the ins and outs of design, marketing, and runway production—which is integral to a future career in fashion
• Put together a runway show featuring their friends and peers in front of a live audience including fashion industry insiders
• Showcase their designed O’Neill pieces at a live runway show where they’ll compete against 5 other finalists for the top-voted design.

The 2010 Generation Next grand prize winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship for their future fashion education, an O’Neill wardrobe, and a highly-coveted internship at O’Neill. Interested students can apply through the O’Neill recruitment survey.
