Fashion Arts

Our Program

Humber Fashion Arts students put on a fashion show at Palais Royale.

Because fashion is such an international business, our Fashion Arts program places an emphasis on retail operations from both domestic and international perspectives. You will study marketing, store planning and merchandising, brand management, cosmetic marketing, event planning and retail buying. Students also learn fashion trend forecasting, sales techniques, and colour and styling analysis, while attaining basic knowledge of fashion products and fashion promotion. These skills are then applied to product launches, planning merchandise assortments, styling fashion shoots, and the production of fashion events.

Our Advisory Committee provides regular review and input of our curriculum ensuring our program is always on the cutting edge of industry developments.

About the Curriculum

Covering every angle on the business of fashion, you will be equipped with the tools to succeed. The curriculum covers everything from the general business of fashion to cosmetics, product knowledge, history and trend forecasting, sales and presentation, event planning, retail marketing to international trade and much more.

How it Works

In first year, courses in the business of fashion - marketing strategies, product knowledge, trend forecasting, web merchandising - give students an overview of this billion dollar industry.

In second year, one of our fashion program electives takes on the challenge of organizing and hosting a runway show from start to finish. Working in teams, the students choose the clothes and models, managing the publicity and budgets, plan the choreography/music/staging, sell tickets, and alert the media. The event regularly attracts many representatives from the fashion industry and public, giving them great high-profile, hands-on experience crucial to the fashion industry.

Your Career
Fashion is a major industry in Toronto, where the retail side alone generates annual sales of $2.6 billion at the Greater Toronto Area's (GTA's) 4,600 fashion stores. As well as retail, a fashion career offers numerous and varied opportunities. Work as a buyer, associate buyer, planner, distribution marketing manager in retail or mall management, or an account manager in cosmetics. Work in wholesale as a sales agent in apparel, accessories and cosmetics. Graduates can also pursue careers as fashion and trade show co-ordinators, shopping centre marketers, visual merchandisers, merchandise allocators, buyers, and marketing assistants to fashion designers and manufacturers. Those who prefer the freedom of self-employment may find opportunities such as freelance photo styling, image consulting, and event planning.

Nadia Ali is driven, ambitious and confident, all strong qualities that will help her succeed in the fashion industry. A second-year Fashion Arts diploma student, Ali has experienced the buzz of the industry first-hand.

After completing her first year at Humber, Ali participated in a variety of internships in New York City, including Stella McCartney's Pop Up Boutique in the Hamptons, the Coterie (trade show) with Seventh House PR and Kelly Cutrone's People's Revolution. After two months, Ali's experience is moving her closer to her dream job in fashion PR.

"Interning isn't as glamorous as what you see on The Hills. Rather, you're running around the city with boxes and heavy garment bags for delivery, and if you're smart, you're not wearing stilettos while doing so," Ali says.

Along with her NYC training, Ali's diverse skill set will help give her the edge when competing for jobs after graduation.

"Humber's Fashion Arts diploma offers me a balanced education. The course on Business Writing Skills proved to be invaluable when writing a strong press release, while PC Merchandising gave me a solid foundation in design – allowing me to perfect my portfolio," she says.

Why are we the way we are? Do we have free will or are we prisoners of our past experience or our biological inheritance? What motivates societies to change? Why do societal changes so often divide people into opposing camps? Why do so many people find contemporary life at home, at work, and in the community unfulfilling? What constitutes good government? How should injustice be fought? Can nations successfully deal with global problems? What is science and how does it differ from other kinds of inquiry? Can scientists provide solutions to the problems we face? What is art and does it offer answers of its own? What is its relationship to beauty, to knowledge, and to ethics? Is objectivity about art (or anything) possible? These questions are organized into units that begin with issues concerning the nature of the individual and then extend outward to various social, cultural and physical contexts. The issues explored in this course are too complex to have any one right answer. Rather, individuals must search for answers that make sense of their experiences via various theoretical perspectives. The Humanities course supports this endeavour through study of different thinkers presented in the readings and exploration of different points of view explored in class discussions. ESL students should consider taking the ESL Humanities course. Students may transfer into ESL Humanities (HESL 024) either at the Registrar?s Office or the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences Office (K201) on a first-come, first-served basis before the Last Day to Add.	3
