The DEC in Fashion Design is the starting point for all major collections.
An exhilarating career as a fashion designer requires artistic sensitivity as well as great creativity.

Each collection must meet the demand of a clientele increasingly eager for something new. The fashion designer will have to adapt to it and become a specialist in market accuracy.

Indeed, the novelties in fashion have what is called in the middle: a high fashion content. This added value, on the other hand, has a short life expectancy. In one day, out the next day. This is why the designer must constantly detect new trends to come and be inspired by them to create novelty, always novelty, nothing but novelty. If you are interested in creating, innovating and imposing new trends, then this discipline of fashion design is for you.

Our high-quality program focused on practice in a real-life environment gives students greater flexibility on the job market with a step ahead.
