Key features

During the last decades, new technologies have transformed the way the fashion sector communicates with its clients, as well as its means of production and distribution. In this context of transition and democratization, the global marketplace became increasingly more accessible for small and large brands and students who have a global sensitivity and awareness are at a distinctive advantage. Embracing this cross-cultural perspective, we have developed a program between two leading institutions of higher learning, EFAP Paris and New York Institute of Technology (NYIT).

  • An international perspective: 100% of courses in English and a systematically global and multicultural approach to strategic issues in communication & marketing in the fashion industry.
  • Immersive teaching: our participants are immersed in a business-based environment, working on relevant case studies that have immediate applicability to real world challenges, attending guest-speakers series, and site visits.
