MAFED goes to Paris

Thanks to the long lasting collaboration with IFM - Institut Français de la Mode also this year SDA Bocconi organized an amazing study tour in Paris for MAFED students on April 26 and 27. They could enjoy two days of lectures, guest speeches, company visits and exhibitions.

The first day they attended two interesting lectures on the French fashion system, a guest speech by a manager from Frederic Malle company and a visit to Ecole Lesage, the prestigious maison of embroidery arts creating works for the most important haute couture and ready to wear international brands. The day ended with a networking aperitivo  with IFM students on the rooftop of IFM wonderful building on the Seine.

The second day was dedicated to visits: they have been accompanied by managers through Dior Heritage and Flagship store, they visited Margiela/Galliera 1989-2009 exhibition and finally attended a presentation on Kenzo parfums at LVMH fragrance brands offices. A really intense full immersion kind of program but really interesting and rich of experiences and activities combined with a wonderful sunny and warm weather! A special thanks goes to IFM school and to all companies hosting MAFED students and managers pleasing them with their speeches, inspirations and insights.
