Global Nutrition Brand Partners with
World-Renowned FIDM
Herbalife Nutrition (NYSE: HLF), a premier global nutrition
company whose purpose is to make the world healthier and happier,
today announced a design competition in collaboration with the
prestigious Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM).
Kicking off with the new school year, the design challenge is part
of a special Advanced Study Program, International Manufacturing
& Product Development, where FIDM students will develop a line
of activewear for Herbalife Nutrition’s independent
distributors.
Participating FIDM students will be divided into teams and
challenged to design and build a cohesive activewear collection
that embodies a healthy and active lifestyle. The students will
present their designs, inclusive of theme, colors, fabric, and
production and sourcing strategy, to the Herbalife Nutrition team
and FIDM faculty members. The students’ final challenge will
require the entire team to demonstrate how they will merchandise
the individual student concepts as a cohesive collection. In
addition to the group projects, each student will have the
opportunity to participate in creating their own design.
“FIDM is one of the top design and fashion schools in the world,
and shares a like-minded commitment to innovation and excellence,
making them an exciting partner for this design challenge,” said
Rich Goudis, CEO, Herbalife Nutrition. “Our collaboration on this
project provides an opportunity for the next generation of
creatives to develop apparel inspired by our entrepreneurs and
employees who are purpose driven to help people lead a healthier
and happier life.
More than 15 students were selected by FIDM faculty and staff to
participate in International Manufacturing & Product
Development. The program has begun and continues through late
spring 2019.
“This is the 26th year that FIDM has partnered with a global
brand to create a design competition for our students,” said
Barbara Bundy, vice president, Fashion Institute of Design &
Merchandising. “Herbalife Nutrition joins companies such as Nike,
who have educated and challenged our students in new and inspiring
ways, and we are excited to work with the Herbalife Nutrition team
to develop activewear that underscores the optimism and empowerment
consumers garner from living their best, healthy and active
life.”
As part of the project, students will immerse themselves in the
global consumer marketplace and conduct in-depth research to wholly
understand the millennial customer, the lifestyle of the Herbalife
Nutrition Independent Distributor and the global reach and
influence of athletes. As part of the course, students will have
the opportunity to travel to global design hubs – from Milan to
Paris, participate in working sessions with Herbalife Nutrition, as
well as speak with Herbalife Nutrition leaders from around the
globe and attend the Company’s annual meeting in Houston.
