The Condé Nast Center of Fashion & Design in Shanghai opens its door this week. With more than 250 participants signed up to courses ranging from one-day sessions to nine month full-time programmes, courses are designed to offer an intensive grounding in the workings of the fashion industry, as well as enabling participants to focus on specific areas of interest. Courses scheduled to open by Chinese New Year 2016 include Fashion Media and Digital Communication; Fashion Marketing and Branding; E-commerce for Fashion and Luxury; Fashion Illustration for Beginners; Experimental Fashion Illustration; The Little Black Dress (Design, Cut and Make a Classic Style); Dress for Success; The Universe of Perfume, and Fashion Photography and Styling. Applications for more intakes of the above courses for 2016 are now being taken, with additional courses in the fields of visual merchandising, retail, digital marketing, jewellery design and fashion design are being developed. In addition there is a fully sponsored Protégé Programme, Advanced Fashion Design, open to applicants from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, supported by luxury retailer ATTOS. Scholarships will be awarded in December to those selected by a panel including Angelica Cheung, editorial director of Vogue China; Susan Jenkyn Jones, Senior Academic Director of Condé Nast Center; and Timothy Goh, the CEO of ATTOS.
