Fashion
The world of fashion is exciting, fast moving, and dynamic, encompassing many different industries, including design, manufacturing and clothing distribution, wholesale and retail sales, as well as fashion media and photography. Apparel designers can choose to work in a diverse range of areas from women’s wear, menswear and children’s wear as well as accessories, lingerie, theatrical costumes, and sportswear. Designers find themselves working from an initial design concept right through to the finished product, working for individual clients, high street stores and major retail companies. There’s also the opportunity to get involved in promotion and marketing for the fashion industry. ICF will encourage students to develop a personal and individually expressive approach to their studies. The course has a curriculum that contains a balance of creative and technical elements.
FASHION ENTREPRENEURSHIP
PGD in Fashion Entrepreneurship aims to break new ground through offering a postgraduate program that provides new business opportunity for emerging fashion entrepreneurs who need professional business strategy and project management knowledge, guidance, and a systematic approach to developing and sustaining new business opportunities.
The ethos that entrepreneurship serves as a catalyst for economic development underpins the course. Strengthened by International College of Fashion’s unparalleled external and internal industry networks, you will be able to develop innovative fashion related concepts through to commercialization, whilst developing collaborative relationships between education and industry that are aligned to 21st century business and new market challenges for the fashion industry at large.
There will be emphasis on the development of the individual and the way the individual operates both as part of a creative team and across the domain of entrepreneurship. You will be supported on your individual journey through the course and into the world of business through assignments, internships, and “Mentoring” round tables involving professionals from across the innovation landscape.
The multi disciplinary profile of students on the course will reinforce the real world dimension with students from fashion backgrounds working alongside others from outside the traditional boundaries of fashion to explore innovations in order to create, deliver and sustain economic and market growth for the fashion industries.
Whether or not students start a business, the entrepreneurial perspective is a trait most employers find attractive in new hires. “Entrepreneurship” is a term that describes the method of introducing a new idea, process or product into a pre-existing company by organizing colleagues to create, adopt, sell and implement innovative concepts into the existing business. It is acting like an entrepreneur within a corporation or organization. Companies and organizations benefit when employees bring innovation and creativity to the workplace. Whether you are starting your own business or working within a company structure. Entrepreneurship will broaden your perspective to recognize opportunities. |
