Amsterdam Fashion Institute

During your studies at the AMFI, you will learn how to develop forward-looking, innovative skills. This will enable you to successfully work your way into a prominent (management) position in the fashion industry or in companies in which fashion and trends play an important part. The institute is unique in the Netherlands, because it provides courses that cover all the important aspects at play in the fashion industry.

Fashion is a serious business
The façade of luxury and glamour conceals a sector of industry in which a lot of hard work is done and where enormous financial interests are at stake. This makes the fashion branch both invigorating and dynamic. Today, virtually every economic activity is influenced by fashion and trends. Training at the AMFI will give you an enormous head start over graduates from other programmes, because you will gain first-hand experience in all the different aspects at play in the sector. You will be both a specialist and an all-rounder. Technology, design, media, sport, (pop) music, politics, visual arts, economics, purchasing, production, delivery, marketing, styling and architecture: all these subjects will be covered in your studies.

To make a career for yourself in the fashion industry, you would have to be a real go-getter and will need a number of special qualities, such as an inquisitive and enterprising attitude, flexibility, team spirit, self-knowledge and the ability to forge ahead in the face of setbacks. Do you have those qualities? And do you also have a feeling for design, visual culture and psychological processes? Do you have organisational skills, as well as technical and commercial insight? And do you have the ambition to develop your creative talents in a commercial environment? If so, the AMFI is the place for you.
