Computer_Phone.jpgThe fashion industry is experiencing a series of business changes. Innovative strategies are replacing traditional business models to leverage a company’s social media, technology and customer engagement processes.

Think of Rent the Runway; they changed the styling industry by renting clothes to customers online that might not have been affordable otherwise.

Large retailers are seeking new ways to reach their consumers through in-store experiences such as Macy’s new store concepts. Nordstrom acquired fashion and technology companies to enhance their online and their brick-and-mortar presence simultaneously. One of the most impactful changes is Amazon’s push for same-day delivery for almost any product category for Amazon Prime members.  

For these reasons, retailers are looking for professionals that bring insight into the fashion business, but also have an understanding of customer decision-making, market segmentation, and leadership. The LIM College Online Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management and Fashion Marketing were designed to give students these particular skills while studying from anywhere.

Also, LIM College’s focus on career advancement allows our students the opportunity to connect with career advisors that are well-versed in fashion recruitment. Our career counselors guide students to craft a resume that speaks to the needs of today’s fashion business.
