What is the difference between Fashion design and Fashion & Retail management?

a designer designs the acual garmet as the retail and management is very similar to public relations. they would try to promote, sell and even buy the clothing inorder to get the brand out.

Fashion design is where you come up with the ideas for clothes and sketch them out. You need to know how certain fabrics stretch and hang when sewed. You also need to know how to sew and make your own clothes patterns from body measurements.

Fashion & Retail management is more of the business end of things. You learn how to set up a shop, the best way to place things in your shop so they will sell as quickly as possible. When people walk in the store, you want the newer things towards the front to draw them in. You learn to take inventory and how to buy from the new clothing lines that come out every season. You don't want to buy more than you can sell. The more you have to put on clearance, the more money you lose.

Would it be better to attend FIDM or The Art Institute to study Fashion Marketing & Management?

Both schools offer the study.

Please back your answers with facts.

It will be greatly appreciated!

Umm the Art Institutes are total scams! they charge ridiculus amounts for tuition and offer really bad financial aid and no one takes the school seriously because even someone with no artistic talent can get in...as long as you are willing to pay the tuition they'll take you. I would definately go with FIDM because they are better equipped to get you internships and other opportunities to get your foot in the door of the fashion industry and it's a school that devotes its entire purpose to fashion, unlike the AI schools which cover cooking, art, graphics, etc.

What are the good universities in Odense(Denmark) for further studies like Fashion business management?

A university having a good campus,people etc..

There is only a single university in Odense, it's called Syddansk Universitet, and is actually seperated into many different parts of southern Denmark. You will find a variety of management studies as seen on this webpage:

http://www.sdu.dk/Uddannelse/Fuldtidsstudier/Kandidat.aspx?sc_lang=en

However I don't think they have anything like Fashion Business Management.

Regarding campus etc. you are likely to find a better campus society in Aalborg, Aarhus and Copenhagen.

Hope this helps...?

How similar are fashion merchandising management and fashion design courses?

I'm interested in attending a college that focuses on these subjects but I'm not sure which 1 to major in. I would like to eventually one day own a major clothing enterprise and I was wondering which degree would be most beneficial towards my goal.

*Please list similarities and differences*

Fashion design involves actually designing clothing and accessories. It's art.

Fashion merchandising management involves the business side of the fashion business. It's not the art; it's the business.

Which do you want to do. Do you want to design clothing, or run some element of the business? If design, pick the design major. If not design, pick the other major.

What can i do with a minor in fashion merchandising and a major in business with an emphasis in management?

okay so i've asked a question like this before, but its worded better through this one.

can i still get into the fashion industry with a major in business management? because fashion is where i want to be but i want to major in business because i feel i'll have more options.

what exactly does a minor do? do i get a degree or something. i'm not exactly sure of what it does.

will i be able to get a job through the fashion merchandising program? or the business program? or both?

Yeah, you still can get into the fashion industry with a degree in management. Fashion isnt all about runways, models and the latest trends. There is a lot of business going on in the fashion industry and with a minor in fashion and a major business, you have knowledge of pretty much all aspects of the fashion industry.

sounds to me like you could open your own boutique or manage a boutique, probrably even be a buyer. i think you can do whatever you want -minor means you have extended education in that field, more than someone who just took one or two classes, for example. its like a second major. good luck!

What is the difference between Fashion Marketing and Fashion Management?

Which one would you recommend?

The management part of fashion comprises planning, organizing, resourcing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.

--------------------------------------...

The marketing part is an ongoing process of planning and executing the marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion often referred to as the 4 Ps) for products, services or ideas to create exchange between individuals and organizations.

Marketing tends to be seen as a creative industry, which includes advertising, distribution and selling. It is also concerned with anticipating the customers' future needs and wants, which are often discovered through market research.

Essentially, marketing is the process of creating or directing an organization to be successful in selling a product or service that people not only desire, but are willing to buy.

Therefore good marketing must be able to create a "proposition" or set of benefits for the end customer that delivers value through products or services.

------------------------

If you like to have fun and be creative and do something different almost everyday, choose Fashion Marketing, else choose Fashion Management.

What is the best college for Fashion Magazine Management?

I am a sophmore in college and am looking for a new college since my current school doen't offer fashion magazine management specificly. Do you have any advice on schools. I would prefer to go to school LA or NYC due to high volume of internships available.

I have never heard of ANY school offering a degree in fashion magazine management, and I would hope that no such program exists. It isn't that I have a problem with fashion magazines, but that there are so few of them, and each hires so few managers, that they would be putting out graduates who didn't have any chance at getting a job after a couple of years. What you need is a school with a program in journalism, not fashion magazine management!

What is the best fashion management/marketing/merchandi… School/University in New York City? in the USA?

I'm not looking into fashion design, only into fashion management and so on. Please refrain from posting schools and universities that do not offer "fashion management/marketing/merchandising" courses. Thank You.

Parsons, the New School For Design offers fashion marketing, design & management, and product development as areas of concentration. It is very well regarded.

http://www.parsons.edu/studies/index.aspx

Fashion Institute of Technology covers not only the design, but also the merchandising, marketing and management aspects. It is also considered to be quite good in this field.

Pratt is the one that is more specifically design oriented (including fashion design), and in that field it is very strong.
