best MBA to break into fashion luxury industry?

[Mary26]

Hi everyone. I'm 26, degree at European Business School and after 4 years working as key account manager in the industry of IT, I ve decided to change my career path and get an MBA for the next year, starting October 2015. 

 

So please, any tip, any advise and any opinion about the best way to break into the industry through and MBA will be very welcome and appreciated.

 

The aim is clear: learn about fashion luxury management and get a position in one of the luxury fashion empires (Richemont, LVMH, Kering…).

 

My preferences for the locations are New York and London, and, for the moment, these are the most remarkable Ive found:

 

1) Nyu Stern. Luxury and Retail or Luxury Marketing.

2) Marangoni London. Fashion and luxury brand management.

3) London College Contemporary Arts. Luxury goods and fashion industry.

4) …??

 

 

Anyone is studying any of them? Are the ok for my career plan? which is the best and why?

 

Before starting MBA, I am interested in the 10-week Vogue Fashion Certificate in London, is it recommendable? or is it a waste of money?

 

THANK YOU!

Hello,

 

The Luxury brand MBA at NYU and Columbia and other top schools is extremely competitive. The key is to just get into the schools. Do not build your application geared towards career switching from IT to Luxury retail. Instead, pick an area that has some connection like IT to Finance. Once you are in you can select whatever concentration you want. - Admissions Advice Online
