Fashion & Luxury Management - Bachelor

April 2005

 

We are happy to announce that from September 2005 IFAM Business School will be able to help all those interested in Fashion & Luxury Management to make their dreams come true, by creating a unique Fashion & Luxury Management Bachelor program.

 


Luxury and fashion sector remains in the heart of an always developing economic system in spite of world crises. With its particular mix of pleasure and creativity, luxury and fashion is an economic activity which provides works as well as pleasure to its various lovers.

IFAM Business School is an international business school located right in the center of Paris. With more than 2000 alumni IFAM has always intended to keep pace of the dynamics of business world. Counting numerous alumni working in the field of luxury and fashion, IFAM is now ready to offer a challenging and exciting program dedicated to the particular world of fashion and luxury.

This special year of Fashion & Luxury Management has two objectives:

* Understanding the specific management issues that are facing the actors of this sector. These issues are a broad spectrum of specific managerial knowledge: brand management, distribution & retailing, brand law, managing the identity… All this specific knowledge has to be apprehended by any ambitious managers wanting to exercise their talent in such a challenging and demanding world.

* Apprehending the techniques that make fashion so attractive. Fashion and luxury is about one tremendous challenge: defining a trend, a spirit and applying it to items that can be sold. In order to fulfill this gap, future fashion people, especially managers, must understand their requirements. All students will therefore learn what trend means, how they individually feel it and express it, and how they want to decline it through products that they will themselves produce.
 

Paris is forever the capital of elegance. At the middle point of art and business, Paris attracts tourists from all over the world for its ‘art de vivre’. Fashion and luxury are synonymous of dreams, pleasure, creation… As such, Paris has seen French companies expanding on the five continents their so-French spirit : Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, L’Oréal, …

IFAM Business School proposes the unique mix of business and creativity. This can only be done with the active help of professionals. Professionals of the fashion world are included in our teaching as well as a pedagogical board, which intends to be always on top of the most current moves of this domain.
