IFA Paris & Mode Estah Unite to Form a New Fashion School

Posted on 31/10/2024

Fashion education in France is evolving with the announcement of a rapprochement between two iconic institutions: IFA Paris, an international fashion school renowned for its vision of sustainable and innovative fashion, and Mode Estah, celebrated for its expertise in the heritage and craftsmanship of the greatest French couturiers. Together, they are joining forces to create a new version of IFA Paris, designed to address the modern challenges of the fashion industry.

A Shared Vision for a Project of International Scope

This strategic alliance marks an important milestone for both institutions. By combining IFA Paris’s international and innovative approach with Mode Estah’s artisanal expertise, the new IFA Paris positions itself as a key player in fashion education, both nationally and internationally. This rapprochement aims to offer comprehensive training in fashion design, pattern making, marketing, and management, catering to emerging talents eager to enter a constantly evolving sector.

 

Shaping Tomorrow's Fashion Leaders

IFA Paris’s mission goes beyond imparting knowledge; it seeks to shape the future leaders of the fashion industry. The school has developed an educational approach that combines tradition and innovation and unites theory and practice. Through its inclusive and rigorous approach, it promotes creativity while providing students with a deep understanding of the cultural, economic, and social dynamics influencing today’s fashion.

Two training pathways are offered:

  • Fashion Design & Creation: focused on the creative process, from conception to the realization of unique products.
  • Fashion Business & Marketing: training experts in strategy, management, and fashion marketing.

Each program is structured to meet the current needs of the industry. All courses at IFA Paris are registered with the RNCP and offer Level 6 and 7 Certifications, ensuring national and European recognition of acquired skills.

 

"IFA Paris has a unique vision of Fashion"

According to Jean-Baptiste Andreani, Managing Director of IFA Paris, this vision goes beyond the traditional scope of fashion: “Fashion is much more than a field; it’s a language that allows our graduates to invent a future that is more environmentally respectful and more innovative.”  This ambition is reflected in the school’s teachings, which promote sustainable fashion and learning rooted in ethical and responsible values.

By joining forces, IFA Paris and Mode Estah embody a new standard in fashion, inspired by the heritage of the past and focused on the future. Together, they offer future fashion designers, and fashion managers a springboard into a creative, innovative, and responsible future.
