Fashion Design & Marketing Degrees

July 19, 2011 written by FS Staff

Fashion Marketing

Combining elements of two specialist fashion courses, Fashion Marketing and Fashion Design, this highly versatile program offers an all-round education in both the creative and the business aspects of the fashion industry. It makes a perfect launching pad for a career as either a commercially "smart" designer or a creatively oriented manager in a fashion house or retailer. For those who aspire to start their own fashion business instead the mixture of hands-on technique and strategic awareness gained through these programs is priceless.

Students build advertising, marketing and retailing knowledge of the fashion industry while gaining creative, fashion design skills. They are exposed to a solid grounding in everything from advertising and retailing to design principles; illustration, custom patterns and fashion show production. Most programs offer a variety of well-known visiting lecturers, and the option of working internships with leading companies in the fashion marketplace to allow students to meet the people behind the business.

Upon completion of this program, graduates are expected to have successfully put together a portfolio of work to facilitate employment. Graduates are prepared for positions in the fashion industry such as Assistant Fashion/Accessory/Costume Designer, Assistant Manager, Manufacturer's Representative, Assistant Merchandise Buyer, and Stylist.
