You’ll graduate with a competitive edge. We’ll teach you everything we know about how the fashion industry works. We’ll teach you about creative design and product development. Buying and merchandising, e-comm and digital to sales and marketing and promotion. We’ll teach you about the critical path, the supply chain, customers and markets.

We’ll provide a space to debate fashion issues, and you’ll explore the sustainability of the fashion industry. You know how important climate matters are. So do we. We’ll teach you how fashion is adapting and changing, reusing and repurposing materials and garments into something new.

We’ll teach you about global brands and how they function in different markets. You’ll gain practical fashion design skills and learn how to develop products and tech packs to industry standards.
