The journey of all fashion professionals begins with training at a fashion school. Whether the focus is design, business management or technology, educational institutions create a common foundation upon which the industry can grow.
Fashion education is rich in content and learning opportunities that are constantly evolving to keep up with the rapid transformation in the dynamic world of fashion. In addition to advancement and career opportunities, fashion education also births innovative perspectives and practices from emerging talents who eventually develop into highly skilled fashion designers such as Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, Domenico Dolce and Stella McCartney.
To connect leading fashion institutions from around the world FashionUnited launched the Fashion Education Network in 2009. The online platform connects the global marketplace of fashion institutions and provides a space where professors from different schools can connect with other organisations, students and leading brands.
The Fashion Education Network not only connects the industry but also provides the latest and most relevant news from the world’s leading fashion schools such as UAL (London College of Fashion), FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology), Central Saint Martins, Parsons, Istituto Marangoni and IFM (Institut Français de la Mode). In addition, the network offers a comprehensive school and course directory listing various fashion education programs offered by some of the most prestigious schools and institutes from around the world.
In addition, FashionUnited provides valuable information and resources such as: B. A clear catalog for internships that helps students to easily get in touch with leading brands such as Nike, Tiffany & Co, Channel and PVH for internships or similar. In this way, they can expand their knowledge and experience and develop career opportunities in the fashion industry at an early stage. Ultimately, this contributes to the development of a talented and qualified future generation of fashion professionals.
As the leading B2B network, FashionUnited is increasing exchanges between schools and global companies to help build an efficient industry. FashionUnited currently brings together over a million professionals each month – and that number is still growing. With the Fashion Education Network, FashionUnited creates a space where schools and professors share news, knowledge and opportunities. This will move the industry forward and provide emerging talent with the professional exchanges and resources they need to thrive in the fashion industry in the future.
