At AUP, the Fashion Studies’ students develop final projects on the theory, history, sociology and communication of fashion. At the crossroads of critical analysis, curatorial thinking and hands-on work, they examine the past, present and futures of fashion through innovative media (online exhibition, podcast, Instagram account, article, video, photography, etc.)
