KSU Community speaks

Eugenijus Skerstonas
Professor

Like all lecturers, I strive to convey the latest and most interesting knowledge about fashion trends, linking them with the history of costume, individual psychology, and creative potential. It is important to me that students learn to think broadly and creatively, and to improve their expression and eloquence. After graduation, opportunities will certainly be plentiful if pursued sincerely and with dedication. Career paths will depend on individual choices and a strong inclination toward specific areas of fashion, such as commerce or journalism.

Greta Kukštaitė
KSU alumni, Fashion journalist

Deciding what to study was easy – I knew I wanted to work in fashion. The university provided me with invaluable knowledge and inspiration from esteemed professors like fashion guru Prof. Eugenijus Skerstonas. Contrary to common misconceptions, KSU’s programme focuses on fashion business, communication, and management, rather than just pattern-making and sewing.
