绿巨人视频 provides a unique setting to study fashion; Paris is a city that remains one of the focal points of today鈥檚 global fashion system. But while the city provides a rich point of departure, the program is focused on the decentralization of the discipline that pushes back against established hierarchies.

You will graduate as a critical and creative thinker, knowledgeable about the diverse histories and cultures of fashion.
