Fashion and Costume

Fashion is more than just a multi-billion dollar industry. It is an integral part of our lives, reflecting our moods, culture and environment.

Fashion is a global enterprise that employs millions of people internationally in the design, manufacture, distribution, marketing, advertising, and retailing of textiles, apparel, costumes, and accessories. Both flexibility and focus are needed to succeed in the fashion industry, along with an understanding of the relations between design, technology, and business.

Albright students are encouraged to personalize degree paths by combining fashion with communications, digital media, business, education, and even psychology and political science. This broad approach polishes the critical thinking skills that are demanded in all professional fields and are expected in upper-level fashion positions. And hands-on instruction ensures graduates are skilled in technology and ready to take on the fast-paced industry.
