Going Global
If you're planning on enrolling in a fashion design school, you should seriously consider going outside the US. You may not have thought about it but studying oversees has many advantages.
One of the key attributes of a successful fashion designer is the ability to think outside the confines of the immediate surroundings - to be different, to be exotic, and to appeal to a global market. Studying oversees, either full-time or on an Internship, shows that you have these qualities. And, if you're going to travel, where better than Italy for an all-round fashion education?
Why Study Oversees?
The US has some excellent schools, but a fashion school in Italy provides other aspects that really give you a competitive edge in the employment market. In a global market, the ability to live in another country and immerse yourself in their culture is a great advantage.
Get prepared for an exciting design career. At The Art Institutes, you'll receive hands-on training from industry professionals, plus you'll build your portfolio.
If you can master another language and learn new ways of seeing the world, your creativity will be enhanced and your resume will look extremely impressive. What's more, you'll have an experience like no other and make personal and professional contacts that could last a lifetime.
