For creative minds and passionate designers, who want to reinforce their transversal skills in design, business, and fashion culture.

It is also for those striving to be a creative director, whether it be for their own brand or for an already existing label.

WHAT IS THE CONCEPT

A state-accredited diploma, validated by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research that combines advanced theoretical content with the development of a personal design project A multi-disciplinary program focused on design, business, and fashion culture Compared to the Bachelor: to go further in the development and execution of a creative project.

Strengthen one’s ability to conceptualize and develop a concept proposal. Engage in a different approach, one less centred around making a garment, and more geared towards team management and the ability to oversee production.

Lead a design project from the conceptual design to its presentation in a showroom before a panel of industry professionals.

Learn new approaches to product development, communications, event management, and experimentation.

A program close to the industry: in addition to a professional immersion of 6 months, monthly conferences given by prestigious guest speakers (from “grandes maisons” as well as emerging designers). Students even have the possibility intern for their own brand, or at an international company or a French brand.

Training in eco design (eco sourcing, textiles, upcycling, etc.)

Program taught in English
