Contest dedicated to Polimoda students: win a scholarship for the Specialization Course in Fashion Writing
On Tuesday February 14, Cinema Odeon (Piazza Strozzi, Florence) will project the celebrated film “The September Issue”, a documentary covering the nine months’ preparation of the September issue of Vogue America and the work of Anna Wintour, the daunting editor of the monthly magazine. The film will be projected in the original language with Italian sub-titles, and will be introduced by Professor Danilo Venturi, a lecturer in Brand Management at Polimoda.

Besides being a stimulating occasion for reflecting on the fashion world, the film will be the protagonist of a Contest dedicated exclusively to students of Polimoda. The successful candidate will win a scholarship to attend the new Specialization Course in Fashion Writing to begin in April.
To participate, applicants are asked to write a review of the film in English. A Polimoda jury will select the best article and the winner will be awarded a scholarship to attend the course free of charge.
The Specialization Course in Fashion Writing has been devised for those students who already have a background in the fashion world, and desire to perfect their writing skills for the media, for the business sector or for cultural purposes.
The 4-month course, starting in April 2012, will be held in English and will take place twice a week from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. This evening session has been organized to facilitate those students who already attend Polimoda courses.
The course is offered half-price exclusively to Polimoda students.
