Overview
Over three years, you will work on editorial, commercial, audiovisual and digital projects that allow you to explore how visual narratives in fashion are constructed, from trend research or art direction to fashion film, image consulting or organising photoshoots. The experience combines cultural analysis with constant practice using digital tools, helping you find your own approach as an image creator.
The Fashion Styling (Hons) course offered at Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED) concludes with an official British qualification to be validated by the University of Westminster, a validation that reinforces its international orientation and broadens your opportunities within the global sector. The academic structure is designed for you to develop a solid understanding of fashion’s visual codes and to experiment with different languages and formats, always from a critical and contemporary standpoint.
Studying in Barcelona, a city with a strong creative tradition and a dynamic fashion ecosystem, and doing so at IED, ranked among the 20 best fashion institutions in the world (CEOWORLD 2025), adds to the experience a professional and cultural environment that is key to boosting your career development
The methodology combines lectures, workshops, media labs, tutorials and practical projects.
Learning is structured around styling projects, visual research, teamwork, visits to museums and galleries, and a work placement that brings you closer to professional reality.
Group discussion and independent research are encouraged, as well as the use of tools and technologies specific to the sector.
In Level 4 you acquire cultural, technical and methodological foundations: art and fashion history, image creation, fundamentals of styling, image consulting and the relationship between fashion and film.
In Level 5 you deepen your knowledge of photography, styling applied to different formats (runway, advertising, ecommerce, installation), dress culture, audiovisual media and social networks, as well as the Work Placement.
In the Optional Industry Year Out you can complete a 120-credit Industry Placement, expanding your professional experience.
In Level 6 you focus on the thesis, advanced fashion film, fashion business, research and the Final Project, where you synthesise all acquired competencies in a personal project and a professional portfolio.

- You are interested in fashion, image creation and visual languages.
