Detailed findings & methodology: CEOWORLD magazine surveyed 286,000 fashion executives, graduates, global fashion influencers, industry professionals, fashion school academics, employers, and recruiters in 1600 territories between November 15, 2023, and February 22, 2024. Ten percent of the interviews were conducted by telephone, 82% online, and 8% by post or face-to-face. All quantitative interviews were conducted confidentially without relying on institutions’ data submissions.

CEOWORLD magazine Research, our global center of excellence for primary research and evidence-based consulting services, undertook the study. We collected information and statistics from publicly available sources, research, and survey to establish our list. Participants were asked to rate institutions on a scale of 1 “marginal” to 100 “outstanding” or “don’t know.” The CEOWORLD magazine carried out the 2024 Global Fashion Schools survey – the website for corporate executives, business leaders, and high-net-worth individuals.
