Opening in September: DoLor Creative Academy! x. (copy approved by The Dolum)

Managed by Daphne Mayo, Development and Outreach Manager at DoLor, this new branch of activity will offer a unique assessment and qualifications programme for young, aspiring designers looking to make it in the world of fashion. Courses will run throughout the week in 'The Studio' and 'The Workshop' - two brand new refurbished spaces within the building which will cater for levels 1-3 of the standard NVQ, BTEC and private apprenticeship schemes.

Qualified designers will be able to submit work for consideration of the Creative Director (Hayda Loral) and a panel of senior buyers.

Daphne Mayo, in addition to managing the course content, will be working closely with The Dolum on a fundraising campaign which will seek to source revenue from individual, corporate and public philanthropy in order to achieve the academy's goals.

DoLor Creative Academy, The Studio and The Workshop will add to the already existing Boutique, Clinique, Coiffure and Barbootiére sections of the establishment, located on Orento Street in Sisorca, West Hilbury.

It is the goal of DoLor to not only promote continental lines, but also to develop its own homemade lines which offer only the most quality products on the market. With Hayda Loral streamlining the design, manufacture and buying processes, and Dolimo Bunker overseeing promotions, operations and finance, DoLor is set to become the ultimate 21st century brand.
