Discover how fashion brands communicate today and learn how to turn ideas into creative content for social media through a hands-on, collaborative experience.

The summer junior course in Fashion, Communication and Social Media is an intensive program aimed at students aged 15 to 18 who are interested in fashion, creativity, and digital communication. Throughout the course, you will experience how a fashion communication campaign is built, from understanding the brand to connecting with its audience.

You will work in teams on a realistic challenge focused on the communication of a fashion brand. You will learn how to analyze a brand, define objectives, identify the target audience, select the right channels, and develop a creative strategy connected to culture and current trends. The course invites you to think from a communication perspective, understanding fashion as a visual and cultural language.

In a constantly evolving industry shaped by digitalization and content creation, this program offers a first guided introduction to fashion communication and branding, helping you understand how ideas become messages and how those messages take shape on social media.

You will work through analysis, ideation, production, and presentation following a process similar to professional practice.

This course is aimed at students aged 15 to 18 who are interested in the fashion industry and, more specifically, in communication, marketing, and branding applied to fashion.
