Fashion Communication Certificate

What is fashion? Who decides what’s fashionable and what isn’t? What’s in or what’s out? 
Fashion is whatever can fascinate, enchant and stand out from the crowd, by touching the emotions of large audiences. A restaurant, a gadget, a bag, a piece of furniture, a lifestyle can be fashionable or out of fashion…fashion is by definition something very fragile and liable to change rapidly and unpredictably like a spell and those able to keep it going are like magicians ruling the world of style with their wands. 

21st century magicians cast their spells and dictate trends through the use of visual language and new media: the most talented are those able to put fashion in connection with art, cinema, music, marketing, society and design stories, images, symbols and icons that are perceived as unique and outstanding; the most powerful, on the other hand, are those who have built communities of loyal followers and know how to influence consumers’ perceptions and responses through the use of social media and viral marketing tools. 

It is hard to call them now only bloggers, they are themselves brands perceived as absolute icons of style and class, able to spot and set new trends. Italy has reconfirmed to be a talent pool in the digital age and many of the most successful digital influencers worldwide owe their reputation either to their Italian roots or to the inspiration they draw from the Made in Italy Brand.
