Newark, NJ, Fashion Schools: Design in a Revitalizing City


The largest city in New Jersey and one of the oldest cities in the United States, Newark is currently enjoying an urban revival. The 1997 construction of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, a world-class theater and performance venue, began a series of public works projects that are bringing new life and beauty to the city. Newark is home to many colleges and universities where fashion design students can apply to take various classes in the field. Also, the busy Newark International Airport connects travelers to cities around the world.

Newark Economic Outlook

Fashion school students can enjoy Newark's international population as well as its diverse mix of old and new cultures. New Jersey is a center of retail sales in the U.S., with one of the highest concentrations of Fortune 500 companies in the world. It's a perfect place to learn the business end of fashion--apparel merchandising, marketing, running a design firm, or buying for a retail establishment. New Jersey's famous malls and lack of a sales tax on clothing attract shoppers from all over the region--and if that's not enough, its proximity to international fashion capital New York City is also a major draw.
