As schools and universities close to limit the spread of Coronavirus, courses apparently continue online. 

While notes for lectures are easily available online, students will miss the interaction and stimulation from their peers and lecturers.   
Global Fashion Management has been producing a range of online business of fashion courses for some time, based on over 25 years of hands-on practical experience of the international fashion business. 

These courses sit alongside webinars and online mentoring.  GFM Founder, Thierry Bayle, has announced that he will make the GFM online courses available to fashion schools closed during the Coronavirus isolation and containment phase, offering students the opportunity to benefit from industry-based content from a trusted source with a proven track record.

The GFM online courses sit alongside webinars and online mentoring.  They focus equally on operational and strategic brand building areas, e.g.

It is entirely possible that COVID-19 could generate challenges in the following areas:

• Manufacturing / Logistics & Supply Chain –
  How to make sure you will receive the products you need on time. Will you need extra insurance to cover the risk of receiving the goods late? Do you need to realign production numbers based on the current purchase trends?  Will you need to pay more for shipping in order to guarantee delivery on time?
  Will you need to identify new suppliers, new manufacturing countries and what will be the costs or investments involved?
• Public Events / Collective Gathering –
  Governments and private organisations have taken steps to postpone or cancel events (concerts, fashion shows, trade shows, racing competition ...). This has started to affect many big events, yet it does not yet seem to be affecting so much retail traffic.
  However, there could be measures you could be taking in your stores which would offer regular...

As you start up or as you grow your Fashion Business, you want to discover what other companies have done.

You want to understand the golden rules and you want to understand the mistakes.

Do you agree? This can save you and time and lots of money.

Why not spend some time listening or watching The Profit on CNBC. In every episode, Marcus Lemonis is investing his own money in companies and he helps them scale up effectively. 

What is unusual is the level of honesty and transparency in this programme. Marcus himself is happy to share the mistakes he made and the true reasons why he cannot work with a specific business owner. LEARN FROM IT.

Today, let's review what was shared in the episode of Ben's Garden, a retail store in New York City.
The business does around $1.6 Million per year.

Ben Busko: "I want to scale and grow and this is what I have been really stuck on"
Marcus: "And so, has your business gone down?"
Ben: "Yes, Sir"

At every little stage of your Brand's growth, you...

Recently, we were able to hear and see Christina Tan from CNBC interviewing Noni Purnomo, CEO from Indonesian Taxi operator Blue Bird.

Blue Bird was founded in 1965 and today it is a $1 billion company. 
As it has an agenda to be more sustainable, it has decided to take on electric vehicles including the new Tesla (model X).

Their goal is to have the support from the Government and funding organisations so that the yearly 4000 taxi replacement fleet can be made with EV (electric vehicles). 

Noni Purnomo's father Purnomo Prawiro explains why competition is nice.
"If there is no competition, there is no challenge.
If there is no challenge, we can't improve ourselves". 

Today, the company faces the competition of taxi operators like Grab or Uber.

What was interesting to hear is that when Blue Bird launched its own app in 2011 (ahead of the others), it was not picked up by the market place however with competition (Uber...), it is now the norm.

As a domestic or foreign Brand exhibiting at LFW (London Fashion Week) or PWF (Paris Fashion Week), you must have built the right foundations before you go there.

Do you remember rejecting a proposal, a product or just speaking to somebody because your first impression was negative?

Let's share a few top tips and a few mistakes we have seen this season when foreign Brands exhibit in Paris (hopefully it has and will not be your case)

• Not speaking a little French to break the ice with French Buyers
• Not having several price lists (different documents) to accommodate different Buyers from different regions
• Only having one currency (your own and not €, £, $ ...)
• Lookbook/line sheet not fine-tuned for the European market (or other regions – you can also possibly plan 2 different teaser lookbooks)
• Inappropriate shipping terms or payment terms
• …

So your next top tip is to ensure you prepare and you use ann expert to guide...
