Seminars

Global Fashion Management’s seminars with partner schools in New York, Paris, and Hong Kong encourage cultural exchange, exploration, and discovery in three of the most important regions in the world for apparel production, design, and commerce. The rigorous schedules focus on understanding the business of the apparel industry through lectures, site visits, case studies, and social interaction with colleagues, faculty, and executives. In each seminar, we’ll learn about the respective region’s priorities and core competencies in remaining competitive in the rapidly-evolving apparel and fashion industry.
