Become an expert in Fashion and Art by gaining a set of skills that will result in an excellent reputation in fashion design” 

Art is one of the most influential disciplines in society, as artists express in their works the way they perceive their environment and the people around them. As such, the world of fashion has been nourished by the artistic visions of each period; for example, the Rococo art also came with lavish dresses for women and elegant suits for men.

Such is the union between art and fashion that even the latter can reflect major social changes, such as the evolution of women's fashion in the 1950s, with increasingly liberal and transgressive dresses as the decades progressed. This reality means that professionals in fashion design must have in-depth knowledge of both the world of fashion and the world of art.

This program responds to the market’s demand, instructing students in the history of fashion, through the most characteristic styles such as Fast-Fashion or Haute Couture, as well as in the entire artistic journey of humanity over the centuries and how it has influenced fashion in each period.
