Master the secrets of managing a multi-segmented, eye-catching collection.
The success or failure of a fashion collection depends not only on the design. It also depends on the structure of the product, the style of the collections, the level of innovation, and factors such as price, process management time, and final quality.
The decisions taken in relation to these factors are the result of a comprehensive brand strategy and an efficient business model.
This English-taught Postgraduate in Fashion Product Management offers in-depth insight into product processes (efficient organisation and management), marketing and communication strategies, as well as the mechanisms of inspiration in the creative process, and trend development.
The program establishes a fine balance between the analytical and creative aspects, and offers a wealth of knowledge on all the functional areas that come within the realm of a fashion product manager’s competence such as retail, visual, art direction and communication.
