Where do I go to get a degree in fashion marketing?
I am deciding between Seoul, Tokyo, Paris, New York, London, and Shanghai. All of them have their own pros and cons (in my opinion), but I would like to know more about how strong the schools' fashion marketing programs are. Do they have strong internship and networking opportunities? Are the schools any good and/or well-known in the fashion industry? What about the city's atmosphere in general? Would I be able to express myself freely in the particular city? These are just some things I am wondering.

A career in fashion marketing can be really exciting! It's a field with many different aspects to explore.
If you're thinking about school, it's good to know that many colleges and universities focus on fashion design, development, and production. If you're considering studying outside the US, keep in mind that some countries have strict rules about what you can wear.
Although I don't have a degree in marketing or fashion, I have spent years working in retail, specifically in visual merchandising and HR. Visual merchandising is a key part of fashion marketing. In my job, I traveled to different stores to update merchandise, create window displays, open new stores, place orders, and even design some clothing items. Visual merchandising includes everything from window banners to aisle displays and color coordination of clothes with signs.
Traveling and studying in another country sounds exciting, but remember that some places have specific dress codes you need to follow.
