Abstract

This paper imparts part of the results of an ongoing PhD research, which focuses on the promotion of entrepreneurship in Fashion Design education. The paper addresses the development of relevant skills that might prepare fashion design students for their upcoming careers in the fashion industry. The results, which were withdrawn from literature review and semi-structured questionnaires administered to alumni from our institution, suggest that there is a need for an immersive and hands-on approach to education so as to foster the development of entrepreneurial skills among the next generations of fashion designers, while giving them further preparation for the challenges of a career in this particular field.
