The biggest difference between Esmod Tokyo and other vocational schools is the high employment rate for creative positions (designers and pattern makers). If you're aiming for a sales position, go to another school, but if you're aiming for a creative position, come to Esmod Tokyo!
02Esmod Tokyo has an overwhelmingly smaller student population (a fraction of a percent!) than major fashion schools, so why do students at this school have such a high success rate in contests? You'll understand the high level of technical skill we offer.
ESMOD Tokyo's standards for promotion and graduation are unparalleled in the industry. This is why daily classes and practical training are so intense. The number of class hours, amount of assignments, and quality of the graduation collection are unmatched by other schools.
The foundation of the ESMOD Method is that all students learn both stylism (design) and modelism (pattern). We believe that captivating creations can only be born when one person combines original design ideas with the technical expertise to make them a reality.
