Nourished by centuries of transcultural interactions, at the crossroads between Europe and Asia that is Turkey, ESMOD Istanbul has established itself as a model of creativity.

ESMOD Istanbul benefits from the dynamism of the Turkish textile and garment industry and enjoys the full support of the major fashion, media and industrial group VAKKO, which provides ESMOD students with complete technical training.

This economic and multi-cultural context allows ESMOD Istanbul to position itself as a reference for surprising, original fashion.

Oslo Norway

To survive in the challenging Scandinavian climate, Norwegians have developed a lifestyle that respects nature, with a special focus on cocooning

As clothing is an indispensable part of every culture, ESMOD Oslo draws on Norway’s rich local traditions in materials and techniques, training its students in the creation of pieces worthy of an Autumn-Winter wardrobe (coats, sweaters, etc.) requiring a highlevel of technical ability. Far from sticking with the basics, Oslo students take pleasure in stylising casual concepts to create chic, contemporary collections. The more well-known aspects of Nordic technicity (working with leather, fur and knitwear) are not neglected in the completion of their training.

ESMOD Oslo’s partnership with Kristiania University College, allows it to strengthen its academic status and benefit from magnificent new premises, just a stone's throw from the beautiful port of Oslo.

As the fashion market is highly sector-specific, ESMOD Seoul has developed specific courses to serve these areas, such as Men’s fashion. The great creative richness and energy of the contemporary Korean art scene and Korean popular culture offers its students an enviable backdrop for creative pursuits.

In one of Japan’s capital’s most beautiful quarters , students at ESMOD Japan are at the beating heart of the bubbling fashion laboratory that is Tokyo. Students here develop a strong sense of look and detail, drawing on the energy of the Shibuya fashion neighbourhood, and benefiting from ancestral know-how in textiles and related arts of this culturally rich nation. Inspired by architecture, art, food, -everything around them! - they hatch unique styles, ricocheting from “kawaïi” to advanced structural experimentation.

Tunis / Sousse Tunisia

Tunisia’s history has resulted in cross-pollenization of many clothingand textiles traditions. ESMOD Tunis and ESMOD Sousse draw upon these traditions while modernizing it. What we see in Tunisia reflects a genuine fusion of styles.

Students’ creations show an urban learning in their work with natural and technical fibres, while holding on to tribal elements passed down in each culture. Accessorising with jewellery, bags, etc. is also an important part of their creative process. ESMOD’s two schools in Tunisia also demonstrate a high level of aptitude in lingerie and knitwear.
