The Master's Program in Fashion Curation prepares professionals in an ever-changing sector, where fashion is no longer limited to clothing, but as an all-round artistic expression. In the context of fashion, art curators are responsible for conceiving, organising and managing exhibitions as well as installations that tell the story of fashion. They explore social and cultural topics through clothing and accessories and promote emerging designers.

Fashion Curators enhance the dynamic intersection between art and fashion. These two areas mutually influence each other and create new expressive and commercial spaces.
