"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening ."
~ Coco Chanel

You'll experience a curriculum designed like no other. This one-of-a-kind learning opportunity at the best fashion school in the country is enhanced by a strong faculty influenced by the distinctive St. Martin's touch.
You'll learn fashion design basics and develop your own fashion career with designers and merchandisers from fashion houses like Versace, Calvin Klein, Givenchy, Claude Montana, and Alexander McQueen.Success in the world of fashion depends on a strong sense of style and an unerring feel for design. These are not innate abilities programmed into the genes at birth; they must be learned, and they must be lived.
In response to the need for experts in the fast growing beauty industry at retail and product development levels, the School of Fashion is proud to announce new courses in the "Business of Beauty". From the history of the beauty industry to current merchandising tactics, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the cosmetics and fragrance business.

The online School of Fashion currently offers Master of Fine Arts degree programs, Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs, and Associate of Arts degree programs. The Fashion curriculum refines and focuses the student's individual vision and aesthetics for fashion, offering courses in design, merchandising, visual merchandising, textiles, and knitwear. Studio courses hone the student's mastery of fashion industry standards in design and construction.
The program combines design excellence with computer skills, preparing our graduates to launch themselves into the industry upon graduating. Intensive studio and academic courses culminate in the production of a professional fashion collection or portfolio. A student's portfolio demonstrates mastery of the mutually productive elements of individual style and technical expertise.
