The past year has seen the fashion world transform, innovating and disrupting to produce content that deviated from the traditional ideologies of fashion.
To equip students with the necessary tools to adapt to these new circumstances, IFA Paris has modified its’ MBA Fashion Management program using the ingredients that make IFA Paris shine:
Starting in the fall of 2021, the MBA Fashion Management will consist of a core program and students can opt to specialise in one of three specializations: Apparel, Luxury or Media.
The MBA Fashion Management - Apparel Major gives students the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to become the future's thought-leaders. Understanding and anticipating changes in society are at the centre of the Apparel major's pedagogical strategy.
The MBA Fashion Management - Media Major allows candidates to support the idea of accurate representation. With a mix of experimental and creative modules, students produce visual and artistic artefacts that look at fashion through an anthropological lens.
And the MBA Fashion Management - Luxury Major ensures students reach a high level of agility and flexibility to help navigate the luxury industry to new heights.
This completely revamped MBA also encompasses a mandatory internship during the second year. As a further proof of IFA Paris’ constant will to adapt, the MBA Fashion Management will also be available for online distance learning at IFA Paris - Learn Online.
At IFA Paris, we continuously monitor the evolutions taking place in the fashion industry, and always ensure we match our programs to give our students the tools, skills, and knowledge to excel in any situation they may encounter in their professional careers.
In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic will accelerate industry trends, with shopping shifting to digital channels and consumers continuing to champion fairness and social justice.
While the Covid crisis has had a devastating impact on businesses , it may also have accelerated responses that can lead to positive outcomes.
Indeed, many fashion companies have taken time during the crisis to reshape their business models and sharpen their customer propositions.
As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, the defining themes in the business of fashion will include shifting consumer behaviors (in relation to digital channels, social-justice concerns) the need to build more efficient, simple, and demand-focused operating models.
The virus has brought the greatest destruction to society in the lives of millions of people and in the global economy and trade, in all sectors from health to fashion since the Second World War. It is another fact that its effects will be seen more in 2021.
In order to overcome this destruction in 2020, social psychology turned towards more consumption in certain areas, but the cushion of capital has run short in the new year,so now everyone will be following a more strict and conscious economic policy this year.
For this very reason, in order to manage the ongoing uncertainty with the pandemic and to stay on the stage in 2021, the fashion industry has to adapt flexibility in brand images, clothing trends, management styles, and improve their ability to make quick decisions for innovation.
Covid-19 highlighted that more products do not necessarily yield more profits. Fashion companies must reduce take a sustainable and demand focused approach for both new products and in-season replenishment.
We will have the opportunity to observe how analytical fashion businesses will be in the face of all these predictions and the changes expected from the industry and how successfully they will meet the new year.
It is much easier this year to see whether the change has taken shape or not. The fashion industry are no longer the main subject of this change but their consumers. Now the fashion world will need to follow consumer behaviour and the better adapting and following brands remain on the glorious stage.
Çevresel kaygılar, hepimizi, özellikle çevre üzerindeki olumsuz etkinin düzenli olarak işaret edildiği moda dünyasında, sürdürülebilir uygulamalara yönlendiriyor.
Faktör analizi, etik giyinmenin temelde 2 ilkeye dayandığını göstermektedir: kıyafetlerinizi satın aldığınız andan itibaren sorumlu seçimler yapmak ve ömürlerini uzatmak için onlara nasıl bakacağınızı bilmek.
Yılın başlangıcındaki iyi kararlar genellikle soğuk havalarla ilişkilidir ... ve soğuğa kaşmirden daha iyi ne gelebilir? Elbette kaşmir asil ve kaliteli olduğu kadar bakımı da zor bir yün çeşididir, ayrı bir özen gerektirir. Kaşmir bir kazak, iyi bakım uygulamaları gerektiren uzun vadeli bir giyim yatırımıdır. Kaliteli bir giysi, hızlı bir moda ürününe kıyasla doğal olarak daha iyi bir yıpranma direncine sahip olsa bile, ekolojik anlamda ayak izi ancak azami özen gösterildiğinde tamamen olumlu olacaktır. Yünlü bir kazaktan üç kat daha fazla yalıtkan olan kaşmir kazak, her görünüme uyum sağlar: Ne kadar çok giyerseniz, o kadar çok giymek istersiniz!
Estetik duyarlılıkla etik kaygıları harmanlayarak, erken aşınma ve yıpranmaya karşı etkili bir şekilde mücadele etmek için işte birkaç ipucu:
Kaşmir bir kazak nasıl yıkanır?
Kuru temizleme yasak! Kaşmir suyu seven doğal bir malzemedir. Sanılanın aksine, koruyucu bir file içine konulması, soğuk yıkama programı (özel yün programı) seçilmesi ve asla 30 ° 'yi geçmemesi kaydıyla çamaşır makinesinde yıkanabilir. Deterjan miktarını az tutun ve yumuşatıcı kullanmayın ( kaşmir doğal olarak yumuşaktır, ihtiyacı yoktur). Kaşmir liflerin özelliklerini uzun süre korumak istiyorsanız, sıkma programını maksimum 400 ila 600 tur arasında ayarlayın.
El yıkama talimatları da aynıdır: Yumuşatıcı içermeyen ılık su, uzun süre bekletmeden hızlı bir suya daldırmak, örgünün yapısına zarar vermemek için nazikçe döndürerek kurutmak yeterlidir.Kaşmirin keçeleşme riskine karşı kuruturken kazağını bükmeyin, bir havlu arasına koyun ve fazla suyu emmesi için hafifçe vurarak havluyla fazla suyunu alın.
Peki nasıl kurutulur?
Çamaşır mandallarını ve asmayı unutun, ister elektrikli ister doğal olsun, herhangi bir ısı kaynağından uzakta, düz bir şekilde kurutmalısınıız. Kurutmada gösterilen tüm özene rağmen biraz ütüleme gerektiriyorsa, bol buharlı ılık bir ütü kullanarak ters yüzünden ütüleyin.
Tüylenmesini nasıl önleriz?
Kaşmir kazağın kalitesi, eğirme sırasında kullanılan hammaddeye bağlıdır. Keçinin tüyü ne kadar uzun ve ince olursa, örgü ne kadar sıkı olursa, tüylenme olasılığı o kadar azdır. Bununla birlikte, yeni kaşmir bir kazağın genellikle fazla miktarda ham tüy döktüğü unutulmamalıdır; yalnızca arka arkaya yapılan yıkamalar, asıl tüylenme kaynağı olan üretim sürecinde kullanılan fazla kaşmiri çıkaracaktır. Tüylenme belirli bölgelerin düzenli olarak ovulmasından kaynaklanıyorsa, dikişleri parmaklarınızla çekmeyin, bunun yerine uygun bir kumaş tıraş bıçağı kullanın.
Nasıl katlanır ve saklanır?
Kaşmir kazak asılmamalıdır. Kuru ve iyi havalandırılan bir yerde, ışıktan uzakta, doğal malzemeden yapılmış koruyucu bir örtü içinde katlanıp düz bir şekilde saklanabilir.
Tekstil ürünleri, doğal kaynakları en çok tüketen ürünlerdir, bu da zamansız olduğu kadar dayanıklı olan parçaların seçilmesinin ana nedenidir. Aşırı giysi tüketimine karşı mücadele etmek, aynı zamanda favori kumaşlarımızın uzun ömürlü olmasını sağlayan günlük refleksleri nasıl benimseyeceğimizi de bilmek anlamına gelir: etiketlerdeki talimatlara bakın, yıkama tavsiyelerine uyun, kurutma makinesini aşırı kullanmayın ... çünkü her küçük ve basit hareket, gezegenimizi korumaya büyük bir destek!
Environmental concerns are driving us all to multiply sustainable practices, particularly in the fashion world, where the negative impact on the environment is regularly pointed out.
Factor analysis shows that ethical dressing is essentially based on 2 fundamentals: making responsible choices from the moment you buy your clothes, and knowing how to care for them to prolong their lifespan.
The good resolutions of the beginning of the year are often associated with the freezing temperatures ...and what better antidote to the cold than cashmere? A noble and high quality fabric, special attention needs to be paid to it. The cashmere jumper is a long-term clothing investment which, to be profitable, must be associated with good care practices. Even if a quality garment naturally has a better resistance to wear and tear compared to a fast fashion item, the ecological footprint will only be totally positive if it is treated with the utmost care. Three times more insulating than a woolen top, the little cashmere jumper fits into any look with good taste: the more you wear it, the more you want to wear it! Blending aesthetic sensitivity and ethical concerns, here are a few tips to effectively fight against its premature wear and tear.
How to wash a cashmere jumper?
Dry-cleaning at the dry cleaner's is forbidden! Cashmere is a natural material that loves water. Contrary to popular belief, it can be washed in the washing machine provided it is placed in a protective net, choose a cold wash programme (special wool programme) and never exceed 30°. Have a light hand on the amount of detergent and don't use fabric softener (it is naturally soft, it doesn't need it). Adjust the spin cycle between 400 and 600 rounds maximum, if you wish to preserve the properties of the fibres for a long time.
Hand washing instructions are the same: lukewarm water free of softener, a quick dip without prolonged soaking, gentle spin-drying so as not to damage the structure of the weave. Do not twist it at the risk of felting the material, simply place it in a terry towel and dab it gently to absorb the excess water.
How do I lay it out?
Forget clothes pegs and vertical hanging, prefer to dry flat, away from any source of heat, whether electric or natural. If, despite all the care taken in drying, it requires a little ironing, iron it on the reverse side, using a slightly hot iron with plenty of steam.
How to avoid getting pilling?
The quality of a cashmere jumper depends on the raw material used during spinning. The longer and finer the pile of the goat's down, the tighter the weave, the less likely it is to pilling. It should be noted, however, that new cashmere often sheds an excess of raw fabric; only successive washes will remove the excess cashmere used during the manufacturing process, which is the main source of pilling. If the pilling is caused by the regular rubbing of certain areas, do not pull on the stitches, but rather use a suitable textile razor instead of your fingers.
How to fold and store it?
A cashmere pullover should not be hung up. It can be folded and stored flat in a protective cover made of natural material, away from light, in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Textile articles are particularly gluttonous in natural resources, which is the main reason for choosing pieces that are as durable as they are timeless. Fighting against the hyper-consumption of clothes also means knowing how to adopt daily reflexes that ensure the longevity of our favourite fabrics: refer to the instructions on the labels, respect the washing recommendations, do not overuse the tumble dryer... because each small and simple gesture is a support to the great cause of protecting our planet!
