Art & Fine Arts Degree Programs

Now that branding means so much more than just a logo, the role of creative directors is gaining ground. These professionals take care of steering a brand through the conceptual universe guided by its values, messages, and personality. And just as branding encompasses everything a product cannot convey on its own, the concept of “fashion” covers more than just clothing. A brand’s history, values, and creativity create a powerful identity that can appeal to emotions and create a sense of belonging. The Master's Program in Fashion Creative Direction draws on the intangible side of a product that is crucial for it to succeed: the emotional value of fashion brands. This involves exploring all the creative tools available to produce innovative solutions that define a fashion brand, make it desirable, and engage its target audience through different channels (concept, communication campaigns, fashion shows, the digital environment, events, etc.). This course is held in the English language and starts every January.
