IFA Paris leads way in fashion
IFA Paris has become the leading fashion school in China and is unique in offering English-language courses taught largely by French professional fashion instructors, providing international students with the chance to gain insight into the world's fastest-growing fashion and luxury market from its Shanghai campus.
In partnership with the Shanghai University of Engineering Sciences, IFA Paris established its school in Shanghai in 2002, the first-ever Sino-French joint venture in fashion education approved by the Chinese government.
"Our vision was simple: Take French savoir-faire in fashion design abroad, bring in hundreds of Chinese students who dream of a career in fashion, and add a touch of Parisian creativity," says IFA chief executive Patrick Kouzmine-Karavaieff.
