ITI Beauty, Fashion and Luxury Network

Translation and Localization

Translators, interpreters and language professionals specialising in the fields of beauty, fashion and luxury goods

About us

The ITI Beauty, Fashion and Luxury Network is a specialist group open to all translators and interpreters working in all language combinations in these fields. We also welcome language professionals who do not specialise in these areas but have a general interest and would like to learn more. We aim to build a friendly and supportive network where translators and interpreters specialising in beauty, fashion and luxury goods can share their knowledge and expertise, as well as relevant opportunities in these fields, through different online and in-person events. While the areas of beauty and fashion are self-explanatory, luxury goods cover everything from high fashion and jewellery to property, sports cars and yachts. Despite the great variety of products included in this specialisation, we believe the shared skills and expertise of BFL translators and interpreters can complement each other, as each of these fields shares similar linguistic, technical and creative challenges. We hold a combination of online and in-person events, which are both professional and social in nature. We also have an email forum where members can post about all aspects of BFL translation and interpreting, such as terminology queries, work opportunities, CPD events and industry developments. If you are a translator or interpreter specialising in the fields of beauty, fashion or luxury goods, then look no further! As a member, you will be part of a supportive network of like-minded language professionals whose expertise you will be able to draw on, as well as share your own. To become a member, please email itibflnet@gmail.com

  • 📢 Final call for Suits you, Sir! Translating about menswear in 2024 with Helene Tammik MITI 📢 During this 1-hour webinar, we’ll look at how menswear traditionally differs from womenswear (language, visuals, cultural references) and consider historical and current influences on the way men dress – because when you’re ‘selling dreams’ like fashion, context is more crucial than ever.

    Day 274 | September's Redirection🚦⛔️ September 2024 was not for the faint hearted. With mars in cancer during a lunar eclipse in pisces, everyone was forced to embody authenticity in order to pursue a more meaningful way of life. So, after much intense energy, here's how my September went... 🎉 LINGUISTICAMENTE is celebrating Saint Jerome's feast day with their Made in Translation Summit, starting today at 18:00 GMT+1. On a personal note, thank you to the team, guest speakers and to all those participating in our summit, your supporting my initiative is incredible to behold. 🎙️ We at the ITI Beauty, Fashion and Luxury Network had the opportunity to collaborate with Rita Prazeres Gonçalves of The Language Worker this month! Join Rita, Laura Jones - Beauty and Lifestyle Translator, Francesca Gatenby MA MITI and Natasha F. (me), as we talk all things luxury and more: https://lnkd.in/eKN8vgfY 🎨 In light of Joe Lycett's recent efforts to support those working in the arts, enjoy some snapshots of words as art from the UK. The picture perfect poem is from the Poet for Hire near Shakespeare's Globe, where I saw the company's production of Antony and Cleopatra performed in BSL and English: wonderful experience, never heard such volume in a quiet space before. 📚 Speaking of supporting those in the arts, a link to Camilla Miller's book 'Keeping Your Cool Parenting' is now available on my site: https://lnkd.in/erqne7ZQ 🌛 We now have two moons! 💭 I also came across some words of inspiration this month. First, from Taïro which reminded me of Psalm 36:9 - « sois toi-même et tu sauras qui t'aime » Second, from James Baldwin which reminded me of 1 John 5:19 - "The reason that Plato wanted no poets in his republic is because a writer is, by definition, a disturber of the peace. He has to be. He has to make you ask yourself, make you realize that you are always asking yourself, questions that you don't know how to face." Third, from Cillian Murphy which reminded me of 2 Corinthians 5:7 - "As human beings, we don't know how we're going to be...we're just figuring it out as we go. So...instinct over intellect...always instinct...if you feel it, then it's right." September has been a watershed event. Praise be to God. #parent #artist #newread #books #author #freelancer #workingparent #internationaltranslationday #translator #interpreter
