School of Fashion

From runways in New York and Milan to the streets of Paris and Tokyo, fashion is the ultimate artistic expression of individual style. One of the top fashion design schools in the country, Academy of Art University prepares students for professional futures in the world of fashion.

Encompassing Fashion Design, Knitwear Design, Textile Design, Fashion Journalism and Fashion Merchandising & Marketing, the School of Fashion is more than a traditional fashion design school. Through hands-on fashion design courses, students gain practical experience that makes them stand out from graduates of other fashion design schools.

Unique among fashion design schools, Academy of Art University is the first school to show at New York Fashion Week. In addition to this incredible exposure for the lines of aspiring fashion designers, Academy of Art University’s fashion design school students work on projects for powerhouses of the fashion industry. The School of Fashion has launched graduates to fashion careers at companies like Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, BCBG and Gap Inc. among others.

Whether pursuing a fashion school degree or engaging in continuing art education classes, students in fashion college programs at Academy of Art University receive the support of instructors who are professionals in the field. Fashion courses are available online and in San Francisco.
