Fashion Council Germany
Last year, the Fashion Council Germany launched its education platform re. FASHION ACADEMY. The aim is to link theoretical training and practical experience in the fashion industry more closely. As the leading institution of the German fashion industry, the FCG uses its network and expertise to implement a well-founded and exciting educational offer with well-known speakers under the motto "UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL, BOOST YOUR CAREER". The wide range of courses will be published from June and offers both physical and digital (further) education opportunities for young professionals, fashion enthusiasts, industry experts and all those who want to expand their expertise.
To mark the launch, two webinars will take place on May 28 - "AI is here to stay – Exploring the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and fashion" with Cheryll Mühlen, Editor in Chief at J'N'C & TM, and "Diversity and Inclusion in Fashion – How to understand and manage unconscious bias" with FCG expert Stefan Brunner. The two industry experts will give an insight into the new direction of the courses and talk about the future-relevant topics of artificial intelligence and diversity in the fashion industry. Interested parties from all areas are invited to participate in the free webinars to find out more about the extended educational offer of the re. FASHION ACADEMY.

As a representative of the interests of the German fashion industry, the FCG combines knowledge with expertise and disseminates it through its forward-looking format. In this way, new insights and developments in the fashion industry are to be promoted and discovered. The aim is to use the platform to change further education in the industry in order to impart not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical know-how and experience. The offer includes webinars – live and on demand – seminars, workshops and masterclasses. The topics are based on the five trend-setting categories of sustainability, design, leadership, sales & marketing and technology, which are linked to the fashion industry.
In addition to the offers for end consumers, re. FASHION ACADEMY offers companies the opportunity to offer individualized courses and training programs, thus creating solutions to strengthen the competitiveness of companies and optimally promote their employees.
Christiane Arp, Chairwoman of the FCG: "The right. re.FASHION ACADEMY combines education, talent and experience. The foundation to overcome the opportunities and challenges of the fashion industry. We see it as our task to support young people in particular, to connect them with industry experts and to pass on the knowledge we have gained. The biggest challenge is to impart knowledge about sustainable fashion consumption and thus contribute to a social rethink."
After the official launch of the re. FASHION ACADEMY, the first seminars and webinars will start in the summer – including courses by MASJIEN founders Jasmien Wynants and Ann Claes as well as Brand Strategist & Leadership Coach Anita Lotterschmid.
