MA Business: Fashion Promotion Communication and Digital Media

During the course, participants learn how to anticipate and respond to developments in media and communication. They explore the major theories and debates that dominate fashion communication and evaluate different techniques applicable in creating and understanding the role of ‘image’ in fashion, as well as analysing historical and contemporary references. Particular emphasis is placed on digital public relations within fashion houses: from customer management to the identification of key industry players and celebrities, and from fashion show organisation to the management of press days, and digital events. Looking at fashion advertising, editorial and creative direction in media, communication and promotion, participants evaluate and analyse trends in fashion styling, photography and journalism. They also gain an advanced knowledge of creative writing processes encouraging their own vision and professional preparation for various roles in the fashion industry which foster innovation, entrepreneurial thinking and problem solving.
