Fashion Design

This program provides a creative and technical approach that offers a global yet precise vision of the creative process behind building a collection, emphasizing more and more eco-design and sustainable fashion. Built around research, the curriculum allows students to build their own style identity in order to develop original and innovative products. By taking a digital approach with eco-responsible perspectives, as well as opportunities to work on projects for renowned brands, set ESMOD’s Fashion Design program apart. Thanks to a wide range of specializations and spectrum of electives that broaden one’s scope of the fashion industry, combined with our close and constant proximity to industry insiders, ESMOD offers easy access to several career paths in design, garment creation and product development.

Hit the Ground Running After Graduation

In constant contact with the industry: we maintain close working relationships with industry professionals in order to remain up to date with the expectations of a constantly evolving sector. We can therefore offer courses that are adapted and updated accordingly each year (innovation, CSR, etc.)

Our students are taught by a faculty of industry professionals and have the opportunity to come into contact with others, whether it be while presenting their final collections before a panel of outside professionals during their end-of-year juries or with a project-based curriculum executed via practical case studies for partner companies.

A transversal education: The complementary nature of the ESMOD group allows for hybrid learning, giving students in Fashion Design the opportunity to collaborate with students in Fashion Business on reallife cases and to develop interdisciplinary skills, which are increasingly valued within the industry. Career development support: Our students benefit from our guidance, as we help them break into the job market by creating mandatory internship periods within the curriculum as well as the many educational initiatives driven by our Career Development Office.
