Summer 2012 course-Fashion Industry Now: Paris

Field trip to the Madame Gres exhibit

Bonjour!

Haven’t made your plans for Summer 2012 yet? Why not take a 2-week intensive Fashion Industry Now: Paris course.  The course is open to both degree and non-degree seeking students.  Anyone interested in getting to know the city of Paris as a fashion insider, will want to check out this exciting course.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students in this course will gain a general understanding of the fashion industry and current digital fashion marketing trends. With Paris serving as the backdrop, students will find their own inspiration from the streets, fashion exhibitions, retail districts, and learn how to translate these into marketing messages. The class puts an emphasis on written work with individual trend spotting blogs, and team projects including developing a customer marketing strategy. Students must bring a laptop and a digital camera with software to upload images.
