Магистр по Fashion Stylist

The Fashion Stylist course aims to introduce the professional figure of the Stylist, analyzing his skills and different activities.

The course will be based on theoretical lessons in which the unwritten rules that articulate relations with press offices, photo agencies, etc. will be deepened.

An extremely important part of the course is one of the seminars with professionals, which will allow the students to have direct contact with international working realities.

A special relationship that IFDA has with magazines such as ELLE, Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, VOGUE, etc. allows both visits and seminars directly with great exponents of fashion and communication.
