Help for Fashion Schools Closed Due to Coronavirus

design school press Mar 17, 2020

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.

  • Brand positioning and mapping

Minimising the Impact of Covid-19 on Your Business

coronavirus management Mar 03, 2020

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 customers more confidence, e.g. offering hand sanitis

London and Paris Fashion Week - How to bring back sales

fashion week management Feb 14, 2020

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 you. 
Make sure you challenge the Expert as much as he/she cha...
