The Parsons School of Design will offer a new online program out of
its Paris campus. This course is different from existing Parsons
programs as it is designed for high school students looking into a
future in the fashion industry.
Titled Inside the Business of Fashion and Luxury, the new course
takes young students behind the scenes of the fashion industry to
exploring the history, trends, and culture that influences the
industry. The course is multidisciplinary and will be taught by
multiple faculty members from the Parsons Paris campus, including
fashion designer Eros Erotokritos, marketing and product development
expert Anna Krutiy and creative director Badara Ndiaye.
Students can apply for Inside the Business of Fashion and Luxury on
the Parsons website. The course brings together one-on-one mentoring,
lectures and over 100 videos with content and interviews from leaders
of top Paris fashion and luxury brands. Each student participating in
the course will receive assignments with individualized student
feedback.
“As Parsons Paris looks ahead to its Centennial in 2021, we are
excited and proud to launch this new certificate program for high
school students,” Florence Leclerc-Dickler, Dean of Parsons Paris,
said in a statement. “The program’s innovative curriculum, insider’s
perspective, and personal guidance from a Parsons mentor provides a
highly engaging, one-of-a-kind experience for students who are
interested in exploring a career in fashion and design.”
