The Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) collaborates with the Amsterdam Fashion Academy’s Board of Directors and Management Team in implementing improvements, to ensure that the Amsterdam Fashion Academy is constantly at the forefront of fashion education and aligned with trends and needs of the fashion industry. The aim is to offer the students a unique learning opportunity that mixes academic and industry based research with entrepreneurship and creativity.

 

The PAC is an essential part of our vision, which is based on 5 pillars: entrepreneurship, sustainability, research, digital transformation, and individuality. It also has a direct relationship with the students of both Bachelor’s degree with Honours programmes in Fashion Design and Fashion Business, to live industry led projects, organise visits to the brands’ headquarters, offer internship opportunities and provide guest lecturers.
