Course Details:
Anyone having a flair for writing, along with sheer interest in fashion and trends, can pursue a career in the prospering field of fashion journalism. Very few institutes conduct specialized programs in fashion journalism. However, one doesn't have to pursue a formal degree program in journalism to become a fashion journalist. With a degree in journalism, an individual can gain the technical expertise of reporting/editing. Any graduate with sense and knowledge of fashion and writing can become a fashion journalist. But, acquiring training in fashion merchandising or fashion design will be an added advantage for becoming a fashion journalist. Any course related to fashion designing or photography can be pursued to learn the basics and tactics of the fashion world.
