NEW YORK and LONDON, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — BrandEd, the leading provider of experiential and professional education offered in partnership with premier brands, announced today that they have acquired the Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design.

“We are excited to announce today our newest partnership with one of the world’s largest and most distinguished media companies, Condé Nast,” said Michael Chung, CEO of BrandEd. “We will build on the current platform established by the Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design by launching new courses in fashion, business and media across new geographies and demographics. We are also excited to build new schools and programs by leveraging the unmatched portfolio of brands within Condé Nast, including Vogue, Wired, Architectural Digest and The World of Interiors.”

I’m confident that together we can inspire the next generation of industry professionals and equip them to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.”
Through its success in operating Sotheby’s Institute of Art, The School of The New York Times, and City Football Leadership Institute, BrandEd has helped expand three of the most culturally relevant brands in the world into competitive educational programs. In its role, BrandEd has developed a core set of competencies in the education sector, from brand stewardship to managing campuses, building online curricula and marketing the most innovative courses for students.
With the Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design, BrandEd aims to replicate this pattern of success by expanding course offerings and enhancing the value of experiences offered across its campuses. Chung noted that BrandEd is already looking at curriculum enhancements through the influx of state-of-the-art technologies and advancements in sustainable fashion and design as well as targeting new demographics.
