The objectives of the Research center
The Centre de Recherche de l'Institut Français de la Mode was set up in 2003 with the aim of dealing with fashion and the creative industries in general. The intention is to make the massive changes in this economy, which is now controlled by an invisible flow of images and symbols intelligble to all. Companies today favour immaterial data: that is to say the symbolic or cultural values of a brand, human assets, communication and advertising, aesthetics and imagination. This manifests itself in the hegemony of the imagination, innovation and marketing over the actual use of the product, or even the growing importance of product design over manufacturing.
The IFM's research programmes encompass different sectors and ways of living (fashion, textiles, cosmetics, design and other related consumer sectors). By giving pride of place to publications (in particular our Research report) the objectives of the Centre de Recherche are to produce knowledge and to federate researchers in the area while at the same time acting as an overall observatory of different ways of living. The idea is also to provide an interface between the research carried out at the IFM and potential partners (private industry and both public and private, national and international institutions). The vocation of research, unlike professional training, is not to directly answer the demands of industry, it aims to provide more in-depth and often highly original answers in both the short term and the long term thereby playing a real role in terms of forecasting.
