"Issa is the most-fancied label of the Duchess of Cambridge--and thanks to a new design competition, you could soon be designing a print for the princess herself. Kate catapulted the brand--known for its flattering silhouettes and amazing draping--into the stratosphere when she wore a blue wrap dress of theirs to the announcement that she and Prince William were engaged. It promptly sold out in mere minutes, and the rest, as they say, is history. Think a success story like that might make a designer more elitist? Au contraire, friends. The Telegraph UK reports that they&amp;#x27;ve just started a search for young talent to be a part of this September&amp;#x27;s London Fashion Week, where Issa will show the spring 2012 collection. &amp;quot;The London Fashion Week label is on the hunt for the following: a talented individual to design a new print for its forthcoming collection; a fresh face to walk in its catwalk show, and a dedicated intern to help bring the next spring/summer 2012 collection to fruition,&amp;quot; the paper reports. &amp;quot;Those who think they&amp;#x27;ve got what it takes can apply at the newly-launched site hotnewface.com, an interactive platform which aims to give aspiring models, photographers, stylists and designers the opportunity to break into the fashion industry.&amp;quot; We headed over to the site to check it out, and here&amp;#x27;s what the description about the design competition says: &amp;quot;We&amp;amp;#8217;re looking for someone who fits with the Issa philosophy of enjoying yourself in the most beautiful dresses. Someone who will create prints which are unique, playful, alive, colourful, explosive and easily translated onto the classic, effortlessly chic Issa silk jersey dresses. Please submit a final print as well as explaining your inspiration and any other work from your portfolio which you think is relevant.&amp;quot; Entries are due by October 5 (we&amp;#x27;re guessing this print will be for the fall 2012 collection). As for the modeling opportunity, you have until September 12, and here&amp;#x27;s what you&amp;#x27;d win: &amp;quot;The chance to walk in Issa&amp;amp;#8217;s London Fashion Week show in September 2011 as well as the possibility of a contract with one of the UK&amp;amp;#8217;s top model agencies - Premier Models! We&amp;amp;#8217;re looking for girls who are sophisticated, elegant, sexy and confident. Please send through measurements, full body and make-up free shots.&amp;quot; They also want--can I get a woot woot!?--girls who are US size 4 and 6! And finally, there&amp;#x27;s an internship spot for one ambitious go-getter.
