Students gain a national platform under Edelman’s watch
Students at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, US, have collaborated with US designer to Sam Edelman on a collection that brings “a fresh perspective to footwear”.

Sam Edelman and his wife and business partner Libby Edelman are longtime supporters of the college, and their son Jesse Edelman attended SCAD. 

Each year, the Edelmans recruit SCAD graduates to the eponymous brand’s summer internship programme. Sam Edelman employs eight SCAD graduates full-time.

Jesse Edelman, general manager of the Sam Edelman division, said: “Our collaboration with the SCAD students is a testament to our belief in supporting the rising generation of professionals, providing them with a platform to express their visions under the guidance of an established brand.”

The products will be at available at Nordstrom stores in the US and online.
