Over the course of five semesters, students are presented with exciting new challenges that will improve their critical independent thinking and develop their creative and fashion communication skills through digital media such as websites, blogs and social networks (from the history to the current Social Media influences).
Students will also gain an understanding of sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry. Visual and verbal communication skills will be developed and supported through the use of digital technologies, as well as gaining an in depth understanding of the new media environments and their contemporary applications. Through creative and visual research students discover the world of trends, and the role and influence of visual representation.
Participants are as well introduced to a brief historical overview to the emergence of criticism as well as looking at criticism in practice, investigating how to write for blogs, national press, and fashion magazines.
Cultural and historical analysis of art and dress further contextualizes and underpins the development of creative skills.
Students gain an understanding of the business of fashion, looking at marketing principles, practices, communication strategies and merchandising. Managers with both communication and management skills are rare. Today companies recognize and acknowledge the way fashion professionals ‘think’ as a strategic asset, an alternative to traditional management methods and approaches toward company growth.
