Course Overview
No other industry has changed this much or has brought different worlds together while keeping its originality intact than the fashion industry. The clothes one wears not only have impacts on the society he/she lives in but also tells us about their behaviour as a consumer or what effects their culture has on their fashion sense.
The course Understanding Fashion: From Business to Culture offered by the prestigious Institut Francais de la Moda goes into great detail about these concepts and teaches its candidates everything they need to know to make it as a successful person in the field. It breaks down the concepts of modernity, the logic of fashion as well as provides the applicants with the true meaning of fashion.
