The fashion market faces many challenges, one of which is the lack of qualified specialists. We do not remain indifferent and are constantly looking for solutions to support local talent and contribute to their career development in the clothing and textile sector. We are proud that as a company with 100% Polish capital, operating in Leszno, we can share our knowledge with students of local vocational schools.
The difficult situation of the fashion industry in Poland – time for action
The fashion industry is struggling with a serious staff deficit. There is a shortage of tailors, seamstresses, and pattern makers. According to the Lewiatan Confederation report "Education and the labor market in the Polish textile and clothing sector", the industry must face not only inflation and rising production costs, but above all, a lack of new personnel.
Key market facts:
- By 2030, the Polish clothing sector will need approximately 30,000 additional employees.
- It is essential to develop modern educational programs.
- Cooperation between business and education is the only way to overcome the crisis.
At LOU, fashion is our passion. We cannot imagine Polish tailoring losing its significance. We want to see native designs on world catwalks – just as LOU dresses are admired today.
As LOU, we are a major local employer
The production of our clothes has taken place in Leszno from the very beginning. We are local patriots – we love our city and want to make it famous all over the world. As a significant employer in the region, we feel responsible for training future professionals.
We know perfectly well that talent must be followed by hard work. We want to pass on our values and technical skills to young people, without which the fashion industry cannot exist.
Our path to current success was led by uncompromising quality. We take care of every detail: from the choice of fabrics, through the refinement of styles, to the final production. We sew with every woman in mind, and now we want to teach this to the next generations. Who knows, maybe a future member of the LOU family is growing up among the current students?
Cooperation with the Leszno vocational school
Supporting vocational education is an investment in local human potential for us. We are pleased to have started a partnership with the vocational school in Leszno. We are proud to contribute to the education of future masters of the needle.
The profession of a tailor requires:
- Immense patience and precision.
- A creative approach to garment construction.
- Understanding craftsmanship as the foundation of fashion.
Every day in our studio, we observe how graphic designs turn into tangible, beautiful creations. This is the essence of the production process. We will make every effort to ensure that students can fully benefit from our knowledge and experience.
