1. Study in three fashion hot spots: Antwerp, Milan and Jaipur
Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerp is without any doubt one of the most creative and entrepreneurial cities in Europe, in which new trends and designers are endlessly evolving. As one of the world’s leading fashion capitals, it has developed its own distinctive fashion identity based on the creativity of their independent high-end designers, particularly with the rise of the ‘Antwerp Six’ in the eighties (Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene, Marina Yee). Antwerp has it all: high-end fashion designers, small independent labels, as well as family businesses.
"Belgium is a small country, but it is bursting with talent. The Belgian fashion world is intimidating for someone like me, together with the Antwerp Six, it made history. It’s why I opened one of my first international boutiques in Antwerp."
Andrea, a student from Peru, tells you why Antwerp is such a unique fashion city.
Milan, Italy
Milan is the place to be for fashionatas and the fashion capital of luxury brands, hometown of luxury brands like Giorgio Armani, D&G, Prada and Versace.
Jaipur, India
India has one of the world's largest economies and is a global player in driving the fashion industry forward. This brings immense opportunity but also significant challenges. To truly understand the industry, a trip to India will enhance your master program. The export industry, small scale craft and design houses and supply chains in this booming market will all be examined.
