Villanueva’s specialized Diploma in Fashion Communication and Management organizes its annual Fashion Retailing in Spain Summer School (FRS), an intensive three-week program in English which includes classes given by renowned industry experts and professors from prestigious fashion schools such as London College of Fashion (LCF), Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, Villanueva University and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) in Scotland.
Since 2012, more than 150 students have participated from countries such as Mexico, Germany, Sweden, Scotland, France, South Korea, Singapore, Venezuela, Chech Republic and Mexico, as well as Spain.
In its 8th edition, FRS is designed for those who want to learn first-hand what Spain’s vibrant fashion industry is all about and live it for themselves here in Madrid (Age 18 onwards. English Proficiency in conversation and Reading. No specific fashion background required).
The course includes extracurricular activities, such as visits to fashion industry headquarters, flagship stores and factories, as well as trips to Madrid’s famous shopping streets. We will visit well-known labels, including Loewe, El Ganso, Pepe Jeans, Bimba y Lola or Adolfo Domínguez.
For their evaluation, students will work together in teams on a final project where they will put into practice the knowledge learned about Spanish fashion, its most vigorous sectors, retail tendencies, brand strategies and other current trends.
