The Master’s Course in Fashion Business at IED Firenze provides theory and practical knowledge combined with strategic tools, thus preparing you to successfully move into the fashion industry market. You will also learn how to develop a brand and communication strategy and work independently on your own projects.
The Master’s Course follows a ‘learning by doing’ approach: you will work on some real-life, challenging projects as you explore and experience all the new business opportunities available on the market. You will also learn how to develop creative solutions through tutorials, face-to-face lectures, additional courses, business visits and lab-based work. But most importantly, you will have the opportunity to develop a brief, submitted by a partner company or international corporation, as part of your final dissertation project.
You will gradually be mastering cross-disciplinary skills, covering everything from Fashion Culture knowledge, Fashion Marketing and Management, all the way to strategy development through Fashion Business or Product Management. Your focus will be on sustainability and Fashion Communication Strategies/Modes as a way to create a connection between the market and your target group.
The Master’s Course in Fashion Business at IED Firenze is for students with undergraduate degrees in Communication, Economics, Fashion Design or Fashion Styling, as well as for all those who seek solid training in the fashion management system.
This programme is also for those who want to take a leading role in shaping a new, dynamic vision of fashion. But even more so, it is intended for students who want to consolidate decision-making skills as part of a business project, with the opportunity to expand their work portfolio as they develop expertise across all the key areas of fashion business.
Upon completion, you will have developed all the basics to work across different areas of strategic brand communication. As a manager who deals with business hands-on, you will be able to get around different areas and roles, and also work in fashion events, public relations, advertising, communication and press office roles. You will also have many opportunities as Brand Expert, Fashion Promoter, Fashion Marketing Expert, Creative Designer and Consultant in the area of new media.
The Master’s Course in Fashion Business at IED Firenze is based on two key ideas as a way to approach the current complex scenario of the fashion industry: a multidisciplinary approach on the one hand, and a business vision on the other.
This Master’s Course will expand your vision as you work across different areas (culture, marketing, product and communication) to help you develop strategic mindset, well-balanced know-how and the ability to stay ahead of a changing market with business acumen and innovation. The focus is on managing all key aspects of a professional project such as a marketing strategy and brand development, up to market analysis using a business model.
The legacy and tradition of a city like Florence but also the Italian culture as a whole contribute to providing an ideal context where business and a new renaissance of the fashion system can flourish and thrive. Close partnerships with some of the most important and innovative fashion brands in Italy and internationally (including Adidas, Colmar, Velasca, The Bridge, The Bespoke Dudes, Jacob Cohen and Monnalisa) will allow you to work on real-life projects and get in touch with many different companies and creative agencies.
This Master’s Course is constantly being updated and has a special focus on changing market demands. It has contributed to creating a strong community of alumni who are building their careers within global contexts.
