The MA in Fashion Studies at Parsons Paris is the first master’s program in this field offered in France and one of just a handful worldwide. Here fashion is approached as a cultural phenomenon involving all practices connected to the production, dissemination, representation, and consumption of clothing. The Fashion Studies program challenges you to apply interdisciplinary methodologies in examining research themes including globalization, labor, and sustainability; fashion curating, heritage, material culture, and construction of beauty ideals; identity, race, and gender; everyday clothing consumption; and technological innovation and digital fashion futures. At Parsons Paris, particular attention is paid to the interaction between practice and theory. You engage
