Mastered is a new “world-class program with [an] online fashion school” that can help you launch a career in the fashion industry. Offering the expertise of influential leaders in the field, the program promises a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn directly from those “at the very top of their profession.” Programs are devised exclusively for Mastered and are taught either in-person, via recorded videos, through review of the student’s work, or by conducting live Q&A sessions. Some examples of classes you can attend include: “Photography: Mastered with Nick Knight”; “Make-up: Mastered with Val Garland”; and “Streetwear: Mastered with Virgil Abloh.” However, with spots available being highly limited, the application process is fairly competitive.
With the fashion industry being one in which a “pay your dues” mentality is heavily entrenched, it is unclear how the program has been received by peers thus far but one thing is for sure: Mastered provides a level of accessibility unparalleled to any other online program. Well, that is after you fork over around £1,250 GBP (approximately $2,000 USD) for a three-month program. You can check out more from Mastered here. Let us know what you think about the online fashion school in the comments below.

John Galliano Appeals Paris Labor Court’s Wrongful Dismissal Decision
After taking his former bosses at Dior and his eponymous label to court last year, John Galliano has appealed the Paris labor court’s decision to reject his wrongful dismissal claim and hefty fine, which could force the designer to pay anywhere between €2.4 and €13 million EUR (approximately $2.7 and $14.8 million USD) to both labels. In court, Mr. Galliano’s lawyer contended that the dismissal should be considered “null and void” as it was based on a preexisting medical conditions that his employers were fully aware of, which in part led to the unfortunate anti-Semitic tirade by John Galliano. Mr. Gilliano’s lawyer has publically stated “given the deadlines for the Paris Court of Appeals, the case should be heard in 2017.” Stay tuned for more news surrounding Maison Margiela‘s newly-appointed creative director and head over to the Fashion Times for more.
