A Fashion Show That Has Become a Pedagogical Signature

The show welcomed more than 350 guests, including leading figures from the fashion industry and media such as VOGUE, ELLE, VEJA, Galeries Lafayette, Printemps, the Fédération de la Couture and the Federation of Circular Fashion, alongside professionals, partners and students’ families.
Designed as a fully professional production, the event brought together:
70 fashion design students
40 models
15 industry professionals
A dedicated production, communication and artistic direction team
From scenography and casting to fittings, backstage coordination, lighting, imagery and communication, every stage was carried out under real industry conditions, offering students a total immersion into the standards and expectations of the international fashion industry.
This award highlights IFA Paris’ ability to bridge education, creation, event production and communication, while addressing today’s key challenges of sustainability and innovation.
A Collective Achievement
