    Fashion Design

    About

    The BFA Fashion Design program immerses you in the thriving world of fashion innovation in Paris. With an exceptional range of historical and contemporary fashion houses and luxury brands, Paris is a historical laboratory for experimental and avant-garde fashion design. You familiarize yourself with French traditions of excellence while being trained in cutting-edge design methods. Through studio projects, technical and theoretical courses, unique partnerships with local companies, and internships, you acquire hands-on experience within the most dynamic fashion hub in the world.

    This program – offered both in Paris and in New York City – develops students' design-thinking and creative problem-solving strategies as they explore form, silhouette, material, and process. Students create innovative, sustainable, ethically made, and beautiful fashion for global markets. Graduates work with the industry's leading labels; many establish their own businesses.
