About Bachelor's Degree In Fashion Management (b.a.) in Macromedia University of Applied Sciences

Bachelor's Degree with specialisation in Fashion Management

“Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.” Internationally renowned fashion designer Marc Jacobs hits the nail on the head with these words. Hardly another sector is as colourful, vibrant and international as the fashion industry.

 The days are long gone when fashion was the exclusive reserve of famous designers and models on the top catwalks in Paris, London, Milan and New York. More and more bloggers and self-styled fashionistas are influencing cutting-edge looks. Major retail chains such as H&M and Zara turn design trends around in just a matter of weeks.
 
The Germans spend more than 70 billion euros on fashion each year. Adidas, Zalando, Hugo Boss, NewYorker and Puma are among the world’s most successful brands. A growing number of creative young designers are turning Germany into a hub of high fashion.
 
Sustainability is now a key theme in fashion and making waves in the sector. C&A and Nike are currently two of the major purchasers of organic cotton worldwide. New technologies are revolutionising conventional manufacturing processes; online shops are becoming digital sensory experiences; and intelligent apps are changing our consumer behaviour.
 
From functional clothing to haute couture, fashion management engages with all aspects of the subject – including the creation and management of brands, sponsoring, shop design, finance, logistics and knowledge of regional and global fashion trends.
