Key Summary
Introduction
The fashion system is a segmented and complex territory. It is divided into very different product categories where materials and technologies are the vectors of innovation. Tools to stand out are passion, willingness to work hard, and desire to learn and compete in the world of fashion production and distribution. There are perfect recipes to succeed in this field, but it is useful to acquire specific language and methodology skills.
Course leader: Patrizia Bolzoni
Patrizia Bolzoni was born in Milan. She graduated from the Sorbonne in Paris and received a degree in literature from the Statale University of Milan. A lover of fashion and design, seduced by the excitement of sports and the allure of fashion shows, she has worked at Swatch, Chantelle, Giorgio Armani, Sergio Tacchini and Dolce & Gabbana, developing a varied and multifaceted career in marketing, sales and communications. Always curious about the new, she has faith in the future, beauty and words. She is a fairly successful blogger (www.villeggiatura20100.com) thanks to the ironic and benevolent look with which she recounts the life and vicissitudes of a lively generation in the city of Milan.
