IRVINE, Calif., June 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whether pursuing fashion design as a photojournalist, textile designer, writer or stylist, a cross-functional understanding of principles and hands-on experience with various elements of fashion management is an unparalleled advantage for aspiring professionals. University of California, Irvine Division of Continuing Education has introduced a custom designed program in Fashion Design Management, offering students a comprehensive program exploring the many facets of the specialty.
The full-time, two-week, non-credit program is offered on the UCI campus and offers both international and local students the opportunity to learn through applied coursework, group work, field trips, and classroom instruction.
