CREATIVITY
To create something, it is crucial to have a foundation of knowledge that fuels expression. In fashion creation, ideas, philosophies, and messages are referred to as the "concept," and they form the basis of creativity. As artificial intelligence continues to develop, what is truly required now are new ideas and the "Creativity" to build and evolve them.
-
TECHNICITY
To bring an idea to life, various skills are essential, such as sketching, selecting and processing colors and materials, cutting and pattern-making to create silhouettes, volume, and sewing. The high level of these technical skills broadens and enhances the quality and range of expression. Practicing these techniques forms the foundation for developing an aesthetic sense and unique creative vision.
-
INNOVATION
Innovation is about significant changes in society by adopting new ways of thinking and technologies to create new value. In fashion, there is a need for "innovation" that goes beyond existing norms, shines a light on unnoticed techniques and ideas, and continuously engages in research and development to propose visible solutions to society.
COURSE
ESMOD has implemented an up-to-date curriculum that is constantly reviewed to reflect new technologies, fashion industry evolution, and social needs, in addition to its heritage craftsmanship, developed throughout its 180-year history.
By integrating fashion design and pattern-making courses, students learn the creative process from concept to production, and are trained to be efficient professionals from day one after graduation.
