Why

1. Study in two fashion hot spots: Antwerp and Milan

Antwerp, Belgium

Antwerp is without a doubt one of the most creative and entrepreneurial cities in Europe, where 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 its 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."

— Diane Von Furstenberg

Andrea, a student from Peru, tells you why Antwerp is such a unique fashion city.

Milan, Italy

Milan is the place to be for fashionistas and the fashion capital of luxury brands, hometown of luxury brands like Giorgio Armani, D&G, Prada and Versace.

In Milan you will be studying at POLI.design Milano, a well-known and high-ranked postgraduate school founded by the prestigious Politecnico di Milano. Together with the School of Design and the Department of Design, POLI.design forms the Design System of the Politecnico – among the most important in the world.

With a view of design as a driving force behind growth, POLI.design aims to:

  • Unite the academic and business cultures with the world of professional knowledge;
  • Promote and develop design as a discipline and system of professions;
  • Support the development of creative businesses;
  • Promote virtuous relationships between universities, institutions, producers, and professionals.

2. Launch your career in the fashion industry by expanding your network

The fashion industry is one built upon networks and personal contacts. Not just knowing people, but connecting with them is crucial to develop a successful career in fashion. Joining this program will expand your network within the fashion industry and will offer you first-hand opportunities. Company visits and guest lectures will provide you with essential introductions and insights that often cannot be achieved anywhere else. Your final master project is a project in a fashion company.

Previous lecturers and visits include: Claude Ampe - COO of Bellerose, Vera Breuer - Global President of Kipling, Bart Claes - CEO of JBC, Tom de Poortere - Creative Director of Essentiel, Ellen Kegels - Founder of LN Knits, Bianca Luzi - CEO of Raf Simons, Baert Saelen - CEO of Caroline Biss, Pieterjan Van Biesen - Head of Marketing & Communication at Natan, ...

Faculty members are experts in their fields who are well-connected to people in the fashion industry - in Flanders and worldwide. They will give you insights into how the fashion network works. Don’t miss a single opportunity to reach out to them, to talk about career suggestions and job opportunities, both in Belgium and overseas. In fashion companies, internships are very often the first step to a permanent position, they give you valuable on-the-job experience, an opportunity to further expand your network and kick-start your career.

3. Our Career Management Services

Throughout the academic year, several activities will be organized at AMS by the Career Management Services which can inspire and help you in making a good career decision, including job interview trainings, career fairs, networking events and case evenings. Individual and peer coaching is offered to help you explore your talents, interests and needs, relate these to what companies offer in terms of jobs and career opportunities, and prepare yourself for job interviews and assessments. 

You won't easily find fashion companies at job fairs. To launch your career in the fashion industry, building your network is crucial (see above)
