AIM Overseas Media and Communication for the Fashion Industry
The AIM Overseas Media and Communication for the Fashion Industry program offers students a unique perspective on the Italian fashion industry and the influence the media/marketing has on it.
The course starts during Pitti Imagine (Florence Fashion Week) when students will attend a selection of industry shows in addition to events sponsored by the local industry and retailers. The following weeks are a combination of lectures and industry-related visits that are based on local textile production and designers as well as the use of new media/marketing in fashion communication. The program will culminate in the production of a fashion blog in which students will put their personal and creative mark on their introduction to the Alta Moda Italiana.
