Postgraduate studies
Fashion brand management in the circular economy
A one-year postgraduate program for future fashion industry leaders.
Sign up for the Open Day March 18 at 5:00 pm at Kozminski University.
This is a unique opportunity to see the university from the inside, feel its atmosphere and learn about the development opportunities and benefits that await students during their studies.
During the meeting, the managers of the course will talk about the study program, development paths and details of the recruitment process, answering all the questions of future participants. It will also be an opportunity to get to know the lecturers and experts teaching directly, and to talk about the real challenges and prospects of the fashion industry.
Why was this direction created?
The Play Sustain Foundation’s report “Quality and Value of Polish Fashion” clearly shows that the Polish fashion industry is facing huge challenges: a flood of cheap, low-quality clothing from China, pressure on local business, negative impacts on consumer health, and a dramatic shortage of executives in the fashion community.
Designers want to design, create and develop a vision. But there is a shortage of leaders who will take responsibility for the strategy, scaling and long-term development of brands. That’s why the big fashion world today needs people like you – with experience, courage and ambition.
Studying “Fashion brand management in the circular economy” is a response to real market needs.
This is an invitation to an industry that needs your courage, competence and fresh perspective.
“If a designer has to deal with marketing, sales, strategy (…) then his energy and time is lacking for what is most important for a designer. The key for a designer to create innovative designs is to secure a space dedicated solely to creation.“
