COURSE DESCRIPTION
Fashion is about so much more than just designing clothes. There are trends to predict, models to style, and brands to build. Fashion Business is also one of the hottest industries to work in, either as a designer, influencer or some other kind of specialist. Who and what makes it so glamorous and interesting?
If you’ve seen movies such as “The Devil wears Prada” or “The Intern,” after taking this course, you will look at those movies from a completely different perspective.
This class will teach you how business is conducted in the fashion industry. You will get an insight to industry mechanisms and fashion cycles – from the design process to sales and marketing strategies used by the biggest fashion houses. You will also learn current market trends, how to lead anything from a high-profile clothing brand to your own startup as well as get an insight to the future of the clothing industry.
ONLINE FORMAT
This course includes weekly reading, written and creator skills assignments posted in Google Classroom, along with two scheduled Zoom sessions (Zoom is a free video conferencing platform). The two Zoom meetings will take place during the first weekend of the course. After that, students will work independently on assignments for the remaining four weeks.
Please register using a valid email address, as this is where you will receive your invitation to join Google Classroom. Zoom and Google Classroom are both free and easy to use. You will receive your Google Classroom invitation approximately one week before the course begins.
Be sure to check your spam/junk folder, as Google Classroom invitations can sometimes be filtered there. Your email address must also be Google-compatible, so we recommend using Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo.
If you do not receive the invitation before the class start date, it is your responsibility to contact us so we can assist you.
ASSIGNMENTS & COMPLETION CERTIFICATE
All assignments must be successfully completed in order to receive your course completion certificate. Certificates will be emailed to the address you used when registering for the class.
If you have a deadline and need your certificate earlier, please indicate this during the registration process and upload documentation when prompted (there is a question in the registration form regarding early certificates). Eligible students may receive their certificate as early as one week after the course begins, provided all assignments have been completed successfully and verified by the instructor.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance at the scheduled Zoom sessions is mandatory, and attendance will be taken. If you do not attend both Zoom meetings, you will not receive a course completion certificate. Zoom sessions are not recorded, and make-up sessions are not available.
Please note that if you miss the Zoom meetings, you cannot transfer into another class or reschedule—you would need to register and pay for a new course.
Outside of the Zoom sessions, the course is self-paced, and you may complete your assignments on your own schedule. You will have four weeks to finish all course requirements.
ZOOM SESSIONS
Please note that all zoom sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time (New York City). Please check which time zone you are in, and make sure you attend the zoom sessions on time!
