About the Course

Learn how fashion and luxury companies work and understand their brands, products, retail, and communication strategies. Travel through business models, international development, and product categories with industry influent experts. Adopting a case-study approach, the course presents strategic brand management in luxury and fashion companies as a balancing act: tradition vs. innovation, expertise vs. experimentation, casual vs. stylish; in order to increase the brand value by nurturing the brand heritage and at the same time staying fresh, relevant, and contemporary in the global marketplace. Topics such as the impact of new retail channels, new media channels, and new business declinations for the brand and emerging markets will be discussed in the course....

Was a good course altogether, but there were some issues. The Pinterest boards never worked, the quality of the video was not the greatest (720p for 2021 is bare minimum), and the brands that were given as examples were so outdated. For a course that is supposed to talk about fashion and luxury it really missed the point by being stuck in the past.

Good, but out of date. Fashion is moving a lot every year, learning on 2012 case studies is not worth, and sometimes Off topic.

-The study material provided is undoubtedly very good! Infact excellent!

-But the questions asked in the quizzes , are not able to measure how much learning did we actually carried, the pattern of these questions and multiple choice answers given were more concentrated on thing that a person doesn't cheats to fill them rather than learning!

- Also the questions in quizzes have very badly framed, confusing choices of answers, different people can have different interpretations for those open to interpret statments provided in M.C.Q options....!

This course has been made 6 years ago but it is still applicable to nowadays.

The topics list should be reviewed. Some are interesting insights and talked from a real business standpoint, some other ones are basic and could be found anywhere online. On top, there's a big disconnection between the way how the content is presented and the final test, which requires ability and familiarity with annual financial reports. Shouldn't the course somehow tackle this part as well, rather than leaving the students in front of something they have potentially never seen before?

Besides the content, unfortunately, the English level of the teachers (one especially) made the classes difficult to follow. On one side it was sometimes truly hard to define what terms were mentioned, on the other, it made the full discussion slower and boring. I must admit that I was almost ready to drop off after the 1st-week classes. I have known Bocconi for being an excellent school, but if this is the level offered overall... I am reconsidering my opinion.

i am very disappointed by the low quality of the examples given. more of them date back to 2014 and we are in 2021 ... the world has changed so fast. it would have been smart to update your examples. it makes me think that the courses are not updated neither .... but I spent 40€ to get a certification. does it worth ? not sure ....

I have learned a lot about fashion and luxury companies, business model, brand identity, brand communication, retail and wholesale channel and so on and so forth. Thanks to the course, Bocconi University and 2 professors, I will keep pursuing my dream in fashion and luxury industry

Very interesting course, with plenty of additional material to study alone. The teachers were both very detail oriented without missing the point and becoming incomprehensible.

Very interesting course. Lot of information for someone wants to understand the full circle of activities in a fashion/luxury house. Thank you for all the info I learnt and i am sure i will apply most of the info into my daily routines at the office. Would love Bocconi to produce a second course dedicated to communication and retail/distribution. Hope to have the chance to deepen my knowledge with another course. Thank you. Riccardo

Course is interesting, but sometimes its so hard to perceive the information with such accent :( I`m not lazy to read the subtitles, no.. but they also, from time to time work improperly and its not feasible at all to conceive the information . Plus, its absolutely inconvenient when you provide one huge assignment for several weeks at once! Why couldn`t you make it a few smaller to every week?

(( I think I`ll disenroll

Decent overview of the luxury and fashion markets. However, there were a number of mistakes in the exams that made them difficult to pass. Also, the content is mostly from around 2016 so the whole course could use a bit of a refresh.

It covers the basics of fashion companies, which is good for people entering the industry. The course, however, is outdated, you can't watch most videos as they have been deleted from YouTube. But it's easy, doesn't take much time and I overall provides a basic framework if you're new to the industry.

Definitely the worst online course I've ever taken. A few of really relevant contents exposed in a confused way with a bad English (bad for both professors and guests).

The resources alone offered during coursework is invaluable. We’re talking complete corporate breakdowns of company structure, marketing, forecasting etc. You’re not gonna find these things just doing a Google search.

As a 25 year veteran in the retail industry it’s rare to find some thing that’s so broadly covers such a vast array of topics that I didn’t previously fully understand or even knew existed. Don’t get me wrong they cover all the basics things that anyone in the industry or going into the industry should have a good grasp of but then there were interviews with some of my favorite designers and CEOs from my favorite brands.

The only thing I found difficult was, I had to keep the captions turned on so that I can understand everything because I’m from Houston Texas and a lot of the annunciation given by the instructor didn’t fully translate audibly but I was able to comprehend what she was saying through reading the dialogue. Other than The language differences I had no trouble following along with everything being taught. Some classes you feel like they are intentionally trying to talk over your head or use Termanology that’s going to make you have to go look up all the words afterwards, but not in this class. I just can’t say enough good things about the instructor, she was brilliant and I am honored to have been able to learn from her impressive experience. As for the course itself, it was fun, engaging, challenging, and immersive. And you can’t beat the cost.

Greeting All,

I had a feeling Fashion is a challenging Domaine to work in and I was up for the challenge anyway, I learned a lot from this course and most probably will keep a lot of reading materials saved for review for future learning,

I learned that you can be disruptive and follow your vision as a creative if you provide great content that must appeal to the 5 senses, that we are as creatives responsible for following a consistent narrative, one that sells and brings income as well, that you have to be flexible and be very lenient and open for mutual communication, contaminated partnership.

I have saved a few quotes I found relevant to my beliefs and values, such us YSL about timelessness and Karl about style, LV video from 2008 ''where will life take you tagline''.

the Devil is indeed in the Details.

few book materials mentioned here & websites I am currently interested to dive in :

Book: the new American luxury portfolio _ 2003 M.Silvesr

links; https://www2.deloitte.com/

I took this course as an introduction to Fashion Business Management, a Master I would like to pursue in Italy on campus, I must say that I cant wait to learn further about this exciting field.

Thank you for providing such a brilliant course. and see you soon

Best regards,
