Our Seminars provide priceless
information, modeled after the Italian Fashion System of small
traditional companies in Tuscany.
Acredited by the
Italian Chamber of Commerce to instruct, our Seminars provide up-to
date information of the ever-changing fashion system. Focusing on the
European fashion system, we emphasize the Italian structure and
methods that has made Italy one of the worlds leading fashion icons.
With many small organizations, or groups of
companies discovering new trends, ideas, or methods is always easier
to accomplish. Therefore, we suggest a consortium consisting of
either big companies or many small organizations.
Who
are our seminars intended for?
Our fashion seminars are
helpful to a creative department staff of individuals who lack
experience in the industry in general and need direction on how to
start and create a proper collection that meets the international
standard while learning how to showcase their collection at the
appropriate fairs.
Established fashion or production companies looking to improve and
update their company image to the international standard will gain
great knowledge. Always considering the actual market’s
requirements, our seminars will help direct companies in the right
direction to develop the proper product. For a minimum fee, several
companies would make this possible. With a proper consortium, all
small organizations can benefit from working together increasing
business for all- creating strong power in the market. Instead of
working against each other, harmony can be accomplished by producing
different products that create a full collection for example that
compliment each other.
Buying
offices or Agents will learn the proper techniques needed for fashion forecasting
around the world, learn how to consult those wanting to start their own
label and learn how to contact the right partners. Agents will gain
knowledge of how to improve or adjust existing products or
collections for the desired target market.
Students will have
the opportunity to learn and understand the latest European trends
while gaining inspiration to create their own. Along with creating
their own trends, students can prepare their collection to present
to their local industries.
Furthermore, organizing, in the actual school building, a type
of show or presentation with entry for professionals to view
collections is always encouraged.
How
do we accomplish this?
Our Process:
At all of our seminars, we will illustrate
with pictures, slide shows, book of trends, color charts,
professional fashion magazines and sample collections of successful
European companies. Participants will be able to view successful
approaches to creating collections, display windows, packaging and
catalogues to give themselves a better understanding of what is
necessary to create and sell a unique product and what can be
accomplished with a bit of direction.
Taking advantage of the fairs to gain insight for current and future
trends, while always gathering inspiration for your proper
collection. Our seminar will teach participants to interpret and
adapt to the trends collected during the visits to European fairs.
Our Seminar will train participants about the latest international
standard requirements, in respect to the company budget, quality
level, target and quantity to plan the marketing program for the
sample collections. Participants will also learn about the “concept
stores”, learning how to incorporate a lifestyle.
