21st August, 2019 – The first Masterclass for the semester was conducted by Mr. Francesco Brunacci, who is a lecturer in Fashion Journalism at Polimoda, Florence and in Introduction to Fashion at the Oxford Royale Academy in Oxford, United Kingdom. He has thirty years of work experience in the field of Fashion Business as a Vogue Italia journalist and Fashion Communication Manager with many leading fashion brands such as Romeo Gigli, Exte and GF by Gianfranco Ferre to name a few.
Mr. Brunacci discussed about his experience as a Vogue Italia journalist, having deadlines and immense workload and how he interviewed the most prestigious names in Fashion. The session was highly interactive as he answered the various questions asked by the students. One of the most essential thing that he spoke about overcoming a creative block is that there is no such thing as a block in creativity and that simplicity is the key, in whatever we do. The session was very helpful for me, as it gave me a reality check about the world of fashion journalism.
