“Dr Carolyn Mair brings psychology to life through her skill of simplifying complex science into everyday language. She is responsible for my confidence to speak and research in this new discipline of applied psychology and I feel very grateful to have studied under her. As an activist and commentator in fashion for 35 years, I can now add academic rigour and scientific thinking to my address. As a result I believe I am a more effective professional.”

Professor Caryn Franklin MBE MSc MBPsS, Franklin on Fashion

“Many psychologists wouldn’t credit fashion as a topic worthy of their comment, but Carolyn has completely flipped that idea on its head and proven otherwise. Thanks to her outlook, knowledge and keen eye, she has become a trusted source for me as a fashion journalist over the years.”

“Carolyn gives a new and inspiring perspective on fashion, with new vocabulary and unique expertise. As a brand specialist and community marketer, she challenges and strengthens my mind about fashion, the current industry setup and human behaviour in general. Carolyn brings an impressive and accessible meaning to behaviour in the fashion industry. She is giving the industry back its genuine personality and individuality at a time it needs it most.”

Janne Baetsen, Mind Fashion

“It was very interesting to interview Carolyn Mair for the Spanish Vanity Fair website, because she has a very deep knowledge about an issue that has not been widely discussed in the fashion industry, and that today seems specially relevant”.

“It was an incredible experience having Carolyn as a teacher during the short course on Psychology in Fashion. She was emphatic, supportive, helpful, positive and passionate about her innovative studies. In addition, she delivered right to the point solutions for our diverse projects, regarding how we can translate the knowledge of human behaviour and the psychological insights within the fashion industry, into creative ideas that can contribute to the betterment of everyone.”

“I love learning more about psychology from the great Carolyn. She is very passionate about the subject and I really loved it. I have been observing and analyzing myself with what she taught us in the course, it’s been really interesting and can’t wait to learn more about psychology of fashion. It would be great to take another course with her in the future.”

It has been an absolute pleasure to join your course and learn about Consumer Psychology in Fashion. I wanted to personally thank you for the course and a great learning experience!”
