IFA Paris is an international fashion school of design and business with campuses located in the hearts of Paris, Shanghai and Istanbul.

Founded in 1982, IFA Paris offers fashion design, marketing and management Bachelors and Master/MBA degrees as well as short and summer courses. These programs cater to anyone interested in the fashion industry, whether they lean towards the design aspects or the business side of fashion.

IFA Paris’ mission is to provide the French historical 'savoir-faire' combined with innovative teaching methods and share its passion of excellence to its students from all over the world. With more than 50 nationalities represented among the students, IFA Paris is a truly international school and passes on the French fashion and luxury legacy, as well as the sense of innovation and the aptitude to work as a team in an international environment. IFA Paris’ lecturers play a key part in this and are all experienced and established professionals in the fashion industry.

IFA Paris' role doesn’t end with its' students graduating, as we have the CAC (Career and Alumni Center) that assists and advises students in getting jobs and internships at major fashion brands and luxury companies and follows them throughout their career. IFA Paris also offers continuous and unconditional support and encouragement to the graduating students from the creative design programs who choose to launch their own fashion brand.

80% of graduating students find a fitting industry placement within 6 months of graduation. This is a testament to the quality of IFA Paris’ programs and the knowledge and skills given to the students to prepare them for their career in fashion.
