It has been an incredibly busy week (week commencing 13th November) at Fashion-Enter Ltd HQ with visitors attending our popular on-site seminar and tours.
Led by FEL Director, Caroline Ash, the site received five large groups from the Fashion Retail Academy in London, all the students from these groups were studying Fashion Business and Retail. The seminar was aligned to their current project, so as well as the normal presentation Caroline honed in on all angles of sustainability, ethics, greenwashing and technology including; Kornit Printing/Make on Demand and Style3D.
The feedback from the Fashion Retail Academy groups was amazing and many said it was extremely helpful for their projects.
We then had students from Abbeygate College who were visiting us for the first time, they were great students and really enjoyed the entire presentation. They will be booking extended time for next year as they found it so relevant for their business course students!
This was followed by Fashion Retail Academy – Fast Track Buying and Merchandising students. We had a fantastic interactive afternoon the students were engaged and enthusiastic and had loads of questions.
They were again, working on a project so everything we talked about was relevant to their studies.
Finally, we had students from a University all the way from Escolar Concept, Sao Paulo, Brazil come in, the students were studying various subjects. They all really enjoyed it, and were excited to see how technology has evolved in the manufacturing process, it was a lovely way to finish the week off.
