In fact, it’s absolutely enormous. More than 25 million people are employed by the production and sale of clothing and textiles worldwide.The global fashion industry represents two percent of the value of the entire world economy. In comparison, the pharmaceutical

industry, which supplies all the medicines used by all the people in the world, is just over half that in size. The size and diversity of the industry means that there is a place—and indeed, a demand—for people of diverse talents and abilities at all levels.

“I was a store coordinator for Michael Kors. I was the link between the managers and the other employees. I learned a lot about dealing with new people and new merchandise, and about being able to manage different kinds of customers.”

EDEL SINGH ‘16MANAGEMENTSTAVANGER, NORWAY

“Everything had to be done urgently because each issue had to be out in thirty days. It helped me build my work ethic. I know that if I want to work for a magazine like O, I really need to dedicate myself.”

TAE’LOR ROOTS ‘16FASHION MERCHANDISINGWASHINGTON, D.C.

“Getting the call to intern at Chanel led to a mix of emotions—wanting to scream out and say ‘YAY!,’ but also wanting to be professional and say, ‘Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity.’ I have to present myself in a professional way, because I’m representing an international luxury brand.”

ANDRES PATERNINA-PENA ‘16MARKETINGLINCOLN, RI

“I graduated with job offers from three respected companies in the fashion business. I would not have had these opportunities without the support and guidance I received at LIM.”

TERESA CASTALDO ‘13MEDIA OPERATIONS COORDINATORLORD & TAYLOR

“Manhattan definitely has its own attitude. Everyone is focused. You’re seeing people who are passionate about their careers, and that inspires you to move forward in yours. What inspires me the most is the fact that in this city and in myself, there is so much potential.”

THOMAS GOONAN ‘18MANAGEMENTSTATEN ISLAND, NY

“LIM’s location in Midtown also helps me for my career. Being in the fashion industry, this is most likely where I’m going to be working, so I’ve already gotten the experience of learning how the city works and how to navigate it.”

YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD FROM HERE.Find inspiration in the windows at Harrods in London or the historic fashion houses of Paris. Study branding in Melbourne and Rome. Bring the world to you as you explore the Garment District or Museum Mile here in New York City.

Gaining a global perspective can no longer be viewed as an educational luxury. Establishing an international reach, leveraging international resources, and learning from international inspiration are vital components of our industry. To better prepare you for this new, faster, nimble market, we embrace globalism, integrate it into our curriculum, and give you a homebase at the center of the fashion world from which to explore it all.

“ We have to understand the global effects of the industry. It’s about outsourcing for product efficiencies, but you also globalize to expand your target market and increase sales. To address this, we have implemented global strategies and components in all our departments.”

PROFESSOR CHARLES FRADELLA


FORMER ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE R&R

MENSWEAR, J.C. PENNEY

WHERE PERSONAL ATTENTION MEETS PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITY.Every professor should be an expert in his or her subject matter (ours certainly are). And the best professors usually have years of experience in their fields (most of our professors are still actively working in and leading our industry). But what matters most is how well and how willingly they communicate that expertise and experience to you.

This is what sets our faculty apart: you are their focus. Through small class sizes, personalized attention, and a strong institution-wide tradition of mentoring, they are ready to give you the strong foundation in the liberal arts and industry-specific insight you’ll need to begin a successful career in the business of fashion.

“Our business changes every day. I have changed lesson plans on the way to class. The material isn’t relevant if it’s a week or two late—it has to be of the moment. We look at what’s happening in the world, and connect that to the textbook. What I enjoy is walking into this building and seeing a student who just finished high school in May speaking with a corporate representative of an international brand. Who else does that?”

“LIM helped me find 95% of the things on my résumé—whether it was through a professor, or a visiting speaker, or an alum, or Experiential Education & Career Management. They have all these resources waiting for you. I got my first job out of college through an LIM career fair. I got my current job through Career Services. LIM has given me the opportunities of a lifetime.”
