Customer Story: Academy of Art University - School of Fashion

As a champion of creativity, we are always excited to see the next generation of artists rise up in the world of digital publishing. We are also excited to see a world now where technology and fashion are colliding, specifically with wearable tech and access to fashion through social media. In this uncharted new territory, one of the only U.S. schools to offer a designated and accredited Fashion Journalism Program, the Academy of Art University – School of Fashion, shines as a source for young fashion journalists.

Why fashion journalism? Marisa Tania, a current student at the Academy, never considered fashion journalism until interning with Dewi Magazine, one of the most prominent fashion magazines in Indonesia. After the internship she realized she wanted to write for a fashion magazine full-time. “Academy of Art University is the only school I could find with a designated and accredited fashion journalism undergraduate program and I couldn’t be happier!” says Marisa.

We’re not sure what the future of fashion and digital publishing looks like, but these talented young artists in the program are sure to keep things exciting. Explore publications from the Academy of Art University - School of Fashion on Issuu below.
