Overview: 
Paris Fashion Institute, established in 1976, provides a beautiful, secure and stimulating environment where students gain hands-on knowledge of all aspects of the fashion industry — design, marketing, manu­facturing, merchandising and retailing. Our month-long seminars, offered in June and September, are held on the campus of Cité Universitaire in Paris. All classes are taught in English. We accept students from all over the world to study with legendary designers and industry professionals. 

Learn more about the program, the class structure, and the campus by visiting www.parisfashion.org. Or email us at info@parisfashion.org. 

The Program:
Students learn the inside mechanics of fashion, an overall view of the design industry and how a design studio operates. Participants learn how a collection is created from color to silhouette, how to forecast and report on trends, fashion terminology and the true value of a garment. We explore sales and promotion. Invaluable information is provided for future retailers, from consumer behavior and buying patterns to the workings of distribution channels.

Students learn and are inspired by observing people, their habits and their personal expression in Parisian daily life. Paris Fashion Institute guides you into famous fashion haunts, trend-setting boutiques and stores to better understand where inspiration comes from. In a saturated marketplace only creativity, quality and originality make the difference.

The Cultural Experience:
Imagine living in Paris for a month and studying fashion. You experience the beauty of the city, the great food. You design clothes and accessories, create a collection, learn the who’s who of the industry, and, if in season, you participate in Paris Fashion Week and Paris fashion shows. Add to all this, you learn basic French, French culture, see the world’s most amazing museums, and much more.
