From the week commencing Monday 24th February, the Fashion-Enter Ltd team warmly welcomed two groups from the London College of Fashion and another from Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Hosted by FEL Director, Caroline Ash, the students were keen to see the full garment construction process in action as well as learn about FEL’s business model and the evolvement of repairs, sustainable practices and technology, including AI.
Caroline said: “We kicked off the week by welcoming two groups from the London College of Fashion who are pursuing an MA in Fashion Design Management. Both groups were outstanding, bringing a wealth of knowledge and posing intriguing questions. The seminars were thoroughly enjoyable and received fantastic feedback.
“Later in the week, we had a much-anticipated return visit from Cardiff Metropolitan University. Our sessions with them are always exceptional, thanks to the wonderful tutors and students that are keen to learn. They plan to make their visits more frequent, which is incredibly gratifying. It was a great way to wrap up the week!”
