The Art, Fashion, and Textile Design Specialization provides a comprehensive perspective on the creation, dissemination, and management of design and fashion, exploring their cultural, strategic, creative, and communicative components through an approach that emphasizes the substantive value of Peru’s heritage of textiles, clothing, and accessories.

Research, design, and art are combined with creative experimentation and the techniques and technologies of the fashion industry through applied theory classes, workshops, and labs.

The degree program has a strong artistic foundation essential for creative development, which is built during the first two years. The following three years focus on specialization in textile design, apparel design, fashion collection design, communication, and management.
