Taught By: Bernard Kahn
Section: A

This course provides an overview of the global fashion industry with emphasis on relevant social, cultural, and economic contexts and their impact on fashion’s various structures and cycles. Students will explore fashion design, merchandising, retailing, media and marketing processes through the lens of contemporary phenomena such as the globalization of markets, advances in digital technology, efforts towards sustainability and systems thinking; and associated changes in consumer behavior. They will begin to understand how design, production and business decisions are made within the industry including ethical, financial, and management considerations. Note: PAFC 1000 Fashion Industry Survey, PAFC 1100 Core 1, and PAFC 1101 Visual Communication Lab 1 must all be completed before progressing to PAFC 1200 Core 2 and beyond.

Open to: AAS Fashion Marketing & Communication majors and Fashion Business minors. NOTE: It is not recommended to take this course if you have taken PAFM 1190 Fashion Industry Survey as it is very similar in content and structure.
