To meet these demanding requirements, our school offers its students modern, state-of-the-art classrooms and workspaces (media and CAD laboratories, factory equipment) and a team of 10 highly-qualified teachers coming from various sectors of international fashion companies. In addition to weekly lessons (39 hours), visits to trade fairs, company tours, guest speakers, excursions and info trips to cultural events round out the educational experience. Students also take part in competitions, fashion shows, exhibitions and classroom projects.
