Fashion Management
Why Study „Fashion Management“?
Fashion is our world and sustainability is our focus.
Fashion is versatile, makes you visible and is an expression of the Zeitgeist. Never before has the world of fashion been so free and influential at the same time. Traditions are being overthrown, trends are developing via social media, influencers and labels carry more weight than designers and journalists. At the same time, digitalization and innovative technologies are revolutionizing the fashion industry. Sustainability, environmental protection and social standards along the whole value chain are new challenges in fashion management. Tomorrow´s clothing is smart, sexy and sustainable … and you? At mdh you can shape the fashion business of the future with your creative and future-oriented ideas.
Our Fashion Management degree programme meets the current needs of the fashion industry. We offer a comprehensive education that is also extremely attractive for already experienced fashion designers. Through the Fashion Management degree programme, the range of skills is expanded to include a management-related focus in the fashion sector, which optimally prepares designers for the demands of the job market.

"During my internship at MCM in retail marketing, you naturally also learn how to go through contracts with your suppliers or partners, or how to negotiate. That's also very important, of course, and you also learn all these modules at university. And my internship at a fashion agency was more about sales and wholesale. These modules are also at university, for example, so you know how all the background processes work."
