Overview

Course Overview

The Fashion Merchandising and Buying program at Polimoda offers a unique approach by allowing students to anticipate and respond to the changing fashion dynamics, instead of just adhering to traditional fashion weeks. It also emphasizes a broader understanding of global fashion shifts, exploring new markets, acknowledging individual preferences, recognizing the emergence of gender fluidity and understanding the significance of both data-driven insights and cultural awareness.

In the Master in Fashion Merchandising & Buying program, students will immerse themselves in advanced production and buying techniques, gaining insights into how lifestyle trends merge with fashion. The program also places a significant emphasis on understanding the intricate balance of staying current with trends while preserving a brand’s authentic identity. Additionally, students are trained to draw valuable consumer insights from a blend of data analytics and cultural understanding.

Within the curriculum, students undertake two main projects: devising a re-merchandising strategy and crafting a buying plan tailored for multi-brand retail. Both projects result in comprehensive outcomes suitable for a distinguished portfolio.
