Global Fashion CEO Programme
2019 is the third year of international course cooperation between Møller Institute and Newton Business School. Together, we have co-created a series of tailored global fashion and innovative management programmes for Asia Pacific fashion superstars, top ten fashion designers in China, and well-known fashion and luxury industry entrepreneurs. In 2018 we co-created the week-long Global fashion CEO programme with Newton Business School to 15-20 high-profile individuals, most of them have excellent postgraduate background and rich experience in brand operation. Many entrepreneurs have a market value of more than 1 billion GBP.
Background
Newton Business School is a first-class fashion business school focusing on international fashion buyers, fashion management, innovation and luxury management.

In the past fifteen years, Newton Business School has provided a series of high quality programmes for senior managers in Asia Pacific, fostering a large number of creative and innovative fashion business leaders.
Design
In 2017 we met with representatives from Newton Business School in Cambridge to obtain a key insight through consultation to their ambitions for the Global CEO programme and wider programme management objectives throughout China. Our aim was to work with Newton Business School to help fashion entrepreneurs and elites shape their overall strategic thinking, create a global business vision and a truly sustainable fashion brand.
Delivery
The unique Global Fashion CEO programme is a comprehensive, multi-level innovative and management programme focusing on the practical application of cutting-edge fashion and technology research, and how new inventions of fashion technology can change our lives. It helped support business direction and overall company positioning, whilst further assisting with how to cope with sustainable development trends, transform traditional enterprises and develop innovative thought. The week long programme, delivered here at the Møller Institute in Cambridge, was broken down into a series of high-quality educational lectures by distinguished Cambridge scholars and practitioners on innovation and manufacturing.
