"I recently completed the course, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. In my many years as a STEM and Psychology student, I have taken numerous courses, but "Excel for Fashion" is truly one-of-a-kind. I had always been curious about how to utilize it specifically in the context of the fashion industry. This course provided exactly what I was looking for, and it did so in a simplified yet thorough manner. One of the aspects that truly stood out to me was your exceptional teaching style. You not only provided visual examples, but you also incorporated real-life scenarios, which made the learning experience highly engaging and practical. Thanks to your clear explanations and comprehensive approach, I breezed through the course without feeling overwhelmed. Once again, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for offering such a valuable course. Your expertise and dedication to providing high-quality education are truly commendable.

This is the first and only Excel course tailored to the fashion industry
Meet Your Teacher
Hi, I am Giada Graziano, and I am the founder of the fashion career advice platform Glam Observer and the teacher of the online course Excel for fashion , the first and only course about Excel tailored to the fashion industry.
Since 2014, I’ve guided fashion enthusiasts to break into the fashion industry.
Today I can confidently tell you: Excel is an essential skill you need in fashion. Not only will it help you become more employable for the fashion job of your dreams, but it's also fundamental for career prospects.
If you had no idea that Excel is so important in fashion, let me tell you that I didn't know either...🤫
until I went to a job interview for my internship in the Ecommerce department at Alexander McQueen and they put me in front of an Excel sheet asking me to calculate the sell-through and other things...😳😳
Want to know how it ended? I got that fashion job because I knew how to use Excel.
Once I entered the fashion industry with my first fashion internship I realized that anyone in fashion uses Excel, it wasn't just my department.
I learned Excel applied to the fashion industry by using it daily in my job at Alexander McQueen, Yoox-Net-A-Porter and Kering
As the CEO of Glam Observer today, Excel is still the #1 tool I use every day. I'm also a nerdy person who loves all things numbers, business, marketing and management (AND fashion as well, of course!)
In 2018 I founded The Glam Observer Fashion Academy teaching several fashion courses. The academy now counts more than 2300+ students from all over the world and students have gotten jobs at companies such as Vogue Business, Prada, Tory Burch, Marie Claire, Dior and more.
I'm excited to teach you Excel in a unique way inside this course!
You can find me and Glam Observer on Instagram and the website.
