French fashion institute, The Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) and the textile and apparel trade show organiser Première Vision have joined hands to announce announced the joint creation of a professorship, lasting a minimum of three years, on the economics of fashion and creative subjects.
The professorship will be launched on January 1, 2016, with the mission of gathering international economic data on the textile and leather industry, as well as setting up new tools aimed at improving the information available to industry players. The activity will focus on specific studies, on the promotion of research on creative subjects and on reinforcing Première Vision's initiatives targeted at young designers and future managers.
According to Première Vision, the objective of this collaboration is to foster the skills represented in its shows, thanks to improved access to economic and industry data, and also through ad hoc research carried out jointly with IFM, allowing a better understanding of the industry's challenges and its evolution.
Première Vision organises textile trade shows in Paris, New York and Istanbul, as well as in Shanghai and Seoul, and also a specific denim event in Barcelona.
