Fashion and Events Lecture

 Josef Jammerbund - The British Fashion Council - Head of Events

The best thing about being a fashion student is the opportunities. In the last year I have worked with Trend Bible and learnt about future consumer trends, contributed to the Universities Creative Arts blog. Worked on placement as a Assistant Buyers Assistant at The Baird Group (BMB) a Menswear brand company and last week I attended a very informative lecture about both fashion and events management within the fashion industry. 

Two speakers took to the stage to speak about their chosen career paths. Firstly Tracy Martin 'Collectable Names in Fashion' was her lecture title. Tracy has written a variety of books and worked with the BBC on Flog it and ITV's This Morning. Her lecture informed us of her love for vintage fashion and she spoke about her favourite designs through the decades. Coco Chanel, Jacques Fath, Ossie Clark and Elsa Schiaparelli to name a few.

Next to the stage was Josef Jammerbund Head of Events for The British Fashion Council. Josef talked about working for The British Fashion Council on a variety of amazing fashion calender events. Including of course London Fashion Week, London Fashion Weekend, London collections Men and The British Fashion Awards to name a few. 

The lecture was very insightful followed by a Q&A with the speakers who answered students questions and gave advice on how to get into the industry. 'Networking' was their best tip. Overall a fun filled lecture on what was a very rainy Thursday night. I can't wait for the next one!!
