Build on the classics and become the next Coco Chanel" 

Fashion has been present in all civilizations From the Roman to the French era, setting trends has always been synonymous with status and wealth. Although for a long time this was the norm, in the 20th century, there was a growing desire to enhance the feminine figure, so fashion collections focused on pieces with simple lines and elegant cuts. During that period, the great designers and referents were able to establish themselves by adapting their own style to the different requirements of the public. 

For all these reasons, this professional master’s degree in Women’s Fashion Design has been devised, representing an excellent opportunity to learn all the key aspects that will help students become an excellent designer.  In this sense, the program will begin by providing the historical context of the sector, allowing us to learn about the major milestones that led to the consolidation of the field today.

Also, an exhaustive study will be made on basic aspects of pattern making in the female figure, establishing how to make the different types of seams finished with a neat finish. In addition, a section of the program will be dedicated to sketch development, which allows designers to capture the main idea on paper and make it reality. 

On the other hand, with the arrival of new technologies and social media, designers have had to adapt and learn about the new platforms to make their work known. In this sense, it is important to keep in mind which marketing strategies big fashion labels and independent designers rely on in order to have an online presence. 

Finally, it is important to understand and analyze concepts such as "FastFashion", which has caused a major debate in recent years, as it favors the creation of large collections of clothing that are manufactured in an accelerated manner. In conclusion, this professional master’s degree will become the best option for students who wish to become a new fashion leader, start their own brand, work as an image consultant, a mong other professional opportunities that will lead to a breakthrough in their professional career.
