UPTODATE METHOD AND VISION

METHOD AND VISION The trend-setter – in fashion, beauty, design and style – is confronted with the “prevailing” currents, but sets his own goal which becomes attractive for the trend already following these currents… So the art “of setting the trend” and therefore of proposing new creative goals for fashion and beauty, implies the ability to explore and interpret the aesthetic-emotional currents of our time. This knowledge based on the observation and surveying of multiple signals (weak and strong) makes it possible to evolve and propose creative goals that guide the prevailing currents toward new trends. If your creativity is expressed in the area of fashion and beauty, whatever your occupation, function of art, nobody can give you what you already have – your imagination and sensitivity. But your inspiration also depends on your knowledge of emotional currents that magnify fashion and beauty in the eyes of individuals and society at large.

Unique and exciting changes are always occurring in the fashion industry. One of the main roles of an Event Organizer is to promote and communicate these events to the public â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the launch of new brands, special initiatives, and new collections, to the launch of a new season or a new series of promotional activities. Event management follows significant changes in society and is the key to success of promotions, meetings, fashion shows, fairs and exhibitions, just to name a few. Conferences and conventions, or just a simple presentation, require hard work, diligence and many days, if not months, of work to make them successful. The event marks the beginning of something new and demands time, energy and organization. Every last detail has to be taken into consideration and carefully prepared in order to avoid a last minute rush which could ruin months of hard work. The event is the pinnacle of months of sweat and pressure, a few crucial hours during which the event takes place. Fashion Event Organization is not an abstract concept which can be improvised in the final minutes before the event - it is necessary to know how to structure and prepare, to learn the secrets of a successful event.

Professional Opportunities For individuals working in any industry, Event Organization can represent a useful alternative source of income. The work is often done outside of typical working hours and an Event Organizer can be flexible, creative and use initiative. Fashion PRs are generally extroverts with extensive social networks who are able to prepare events of many different types, but anyone can become a successful Public Relations Specialist with the right coaching. Uptodateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course provides the guidelines, the methodology and the knowledge required to become a PR and enter the world of fashion.

The eyebrows have an indisputable seductive power that has been witnessed throughout history. From the most antique times, to present times, eyebrows have always been influenced by fashion, throughout various cultures. In the 1900s, the style has often changed: in the 1920s they tended to face downward adding “languor” to the look; in the 1930’s they became much thinner in certain cases, to the very limit possible (Marlene Dietrich) to increase the space between the eyelid and make the look seem more altered. In the 1950s, the eyebrows go back to a more natural dimension while in the 1960’s they become noticeably thinner. Later on, the lines become cleaner , modified with more precise plucking and corrections with the eyeliner. The eyebrows became a cult in both Italy and America.
