Discover the ever-growing digital media careers in fashion

Any number of fashion websites, bloggers, and live streaming from creators can take us backstage or to the runway of a fashion show; a clear example of the digital communication industries bringing us right to the front row.

From the digital media director to the fashion journalist and blogger, you’ll delve into the expanding world of digital communication in the fashion industry, the many careers within it, and how to approach a career path in the ever-changing digital landscape.

Explore styling and photography careers

If you have ever watched a visually opulent film, or been to a fashion show, you’ve seen the work of a costume designer, stylist, and even a photographer.

On this course, not only will you examine fashion styling, photography, and costume design careers from a company-employed perspective, but you’ll also look at the pros and cons of freelance positions and how to approach these roles.
