About

Whether your dream job is working on editorial photography or creating your own fashion line, it’s an indisputable fact that fashion is a wholly international industry. Studying fashion abroad is an excellent opportunity to enrich your education, get inspired by new, global trends, and even get some experience in the industry itself.

Program Types

Fashion Design

Whether you’re interested in dipping your toes in high-street, mass-manufactured fashion, designing a ready-to-wear line, or trying your hand at haute couture, studying fashion design will give you the chance to visualize a design and bring it to life.

As a student, you’ll learn how to produce your own designs from to start to finish, adapt preexisting clothing styles, experience the technical side of fashion, and keep up to date on latest trends, color palettes, and silhouettes.

Fashion Merchandising

Fashion merchandising blends an eye for style with a keen business sense. A great fashion merchandiser is skilled at forecasting future fashion trends and knows how to make crucial business decisions for a project.

Students may learn how to price garments based on their quality, direct photo shoots, and develop innovative fashion marketing strategies. Courses vary from project development to promoting fashion lines, and you may get the chance to attend a fashion show or two along the way.

Fashion Photography

Fashion photographers excel in calling attention to features of clothing or other products in innovative and aesthetically attractive ways. As a fashion photography student, you’ll learn fashion photography and editing techniques, work with fashion designers and models to showcase projects and expand your professional portfolio.

Fashion Management

When studying fashion management, you’ll have the chance to focus your work on fashion product management, brand management, or marketing. These fields put a high emphasis on collaborating with others, from designers to retailers and manufacturers.

In class, you may learn how to use trend analysis to develop a new consumer product or study how to create successful marketing and product placement strategies for the current fashion industry.

Fashion Journalism / Public Relations (PR)

As a student in fashion journalism, your goal is to communicate the latest fashion information to the masses in a digestible and exciting way. However, if you’re more interested in the public relations (PR) side of things, you’ll also learn how to build up brand images, regularly interact with the media, maintain rapport, and write press releases.

Both of these fields will train students to enhance their communication and presentation skills that are vital to working in the fashion industry.

Fashion Styling

Students learning the skills of a fashion stylist will learn how to work with clients and labels on various fashion projects. From doing fabric research to spotting the latest fashion trends, fashion stylist students will combine these techniques to choose the most flattering clothes for different body types and face shapes.

Courses may take students through art, design, and fashion history, as well as more practical areas like clothing construction.
