Fashion Management
Fashion management is a multifaceted discipline that involves overseeing and coordinating various aspects of the fashion industry to ensure the successful development, marketing, and sale of fashion products. It encompasses a range of strategic, creative, and operational responsibilities, including trend analysis, product development, supply chain management, marketing, retailing, brand positioning and material re-circulation.
Courses are open for students studying fashion management, business administration, management, marketing or equivalent at their home institution.
Studying fashion management is beneficial for all business students, providing insights into innovation, consumer behaviour, sustainability, adaptability, and strategic thinking. This knowledge prepares students for the complexities of the global business landscape.
