Indeed, in addition to this record-breaking new school year, IFA Paris is focusing on fashion technologies. In particular with the integration of lessons via virtual reality goggles called “Oculus Quest” for students in the second year of the Bachelor Fashion Sustainability.

Thanks to this new partnership with Lablaco, the students will each receive a pair of VR glasses and will have exclusive access to the CSF (Circular Fashion Summit). But that’s not all, throughout the year, workshops will be organized by Lablaco and led by renowned brands and groups such as Kering. IFA Paris students will be able to discuss and interact with Brand Managers and HR Managers from these groups.

Also at the cutting edge of technology, e-learning is a big hit this year. For this occasion, a new classroom is being set up and will be entirely dedicated to the online Bachelor Fashion Design & Technology program for our January 2022 intake.
