The MSc in Fashion Management at IÉSEG was a meaningful and enriching experience! Studying in Paris gave me a first-hand opportunity to understand the exciting and colorful world of the fashion business in a city that is opulent in art, music, and literature. I discovered how to work with different cultures through group projects and case-studies with my classmates from Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
