V Raw jobs of the week: Fashion & Photography

Before we delve into the V Raw job opps for this week, don’t forget there’s just two weeks left in the V Raw LiveStyle Design Search. The initiative gives one up-and-coming fashion designer the chance to showcase their collection at Melbourne’s LiveStyle Festival in 2010, plus $8,000 to put towards their creations. If you’re a budding designer, hurry along to the V Raw website to make yourself known.
