In this essential orientation course, students​ will be introduced ​to​ ​current thinking in fashion management. ​Informed​ ​by​ historic and current principles​ and thinking in the fashion industry, students​ ​will​ ​become​ ​familiar​ ​with​ ​the industry and begin to position themselves to explore strategic interventions within existing models to imagine future systemic change. As much of the program relies on collaboration and a balance of on and off-site work, the course aims to introduce students and faculty, build community as a cohort, and develop a common vocabulary for the work that will be produced moving forward. The​ ​experience​ ​of​ ​this​ intensive course​ ​prepares​ ​students​ ​to​ ​successfully​ ​participate​ in ​the​ program​ ​core​ ​classes.
