The school dedicates itself to the formation and development of professionals in the fashion industry, aiming to be the main link between fashion creativity and business management. The School keeps an international aspect as it is in collaboration with other schools such as FIT (Fashion institute of technology of New York), Bocconi SDA (School of Management, Milan), IFM (Institut Français de la mode, Paris) and has a 16% of foreign students. Students will, during the EMBA, have intensive courses at IFM,Paris and SDA Bocconi,Milan together with visiting businesses such as Inditex, El Corte Ingles,Trucco,Tempe, Loewe and Mango.

The students do not need to have studied any fashion business before starting the EMBA; many students have only been interested in fashion, and studied things such as business administration, law or communication.
This School gives the students a unique learning process in how to become creative and responsible business managers when they in their turn will start their own business later. In addition, during the course, the students at ISEM have the opportunity to do internships in the different fashion businesses that the School is in collaboration with, something which is essential in order to acquire contacts in the fashion industry.

The ISEM Fashion School is the place where communication, fashion management, business management, lifestyles, fashion and values meet in order to create the futures Fashion Industry’s leaders.
