French term
à l’abri des effets de mode et de séduction
French to English
Marketing
Education / Pedagogy
From a visual communications school brochure:
Savoir discerner les valeurs essentielles à préserver dans l’enseignement dispensé, à l’abri des effets de mode et de séduction, tel est le propre d’une formation de qualité.
It's really the seduction part that's tripping me up. Trying to think of a way to use "appeal", but without much success.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

trendy and beguiling
I realize those are the wrong parts of speech, but I was wondering if you could somehow turn it round to incorporate them as adjectives in this way?
Just a thought!

outcome of protection of approach and attraction
May be it helps to convey the meaning. The attraction may be appealing or fascinating or pleasing. This may give you how you could use appeal.

just an idea ... maybe turning it into an adjective would work ... depends on rest of context, I think

while it's maybe not what you're looking for, perhaps 'trends and other seductive influences/factors' could work
