On Friday 1st November, Fashion-Enter Ltd Director, Caroline Ash welcomed two groups to FEL’s Haringey site for an insightful tour and seminar.
The day began with a group from Cardiff Metropolitan University studying Buying and Merchandising. The seminar discussed the challenges today’s fashion industry faces including AI, technology and sustainability within the supply chain. The seminar was reenforced with a tour of the various sections of the factory in action.
The second visit was a small Masters group from Glasgow Caledonian University London. This group came armed with questions and had a particular interest in AI, sustainability and new legislation.
Caroline received brilliant feedback from both groups, which included…
Cardiff Metropolitan University:
“I learnt about production in the fashion industry. About sustainable practices and the future of AI in fashion.”
“I gained an introduction to new techniques in industry, including AI. And found out about the main challenges faced in the UK manufacturing industry. A great experience, thanks very much.”
“I found out about the future of the fashion industry in terms of AI, as well as the problems buyers face in the industry. Thank you.”
“Learnt more about AI and perhaps the future of AI in the fashion industry. And it was nice to see real happy people at work.”
“Really valuable information that solidifies my learning in my course that I will take on into the industry. You can really tell it’s a nice atmosphere to work in and people are happy.”
