WHY STUDY FASHION IN CHINA?

The fashion scene in China, in particular Shanghai, is currently blooming, with leading brand boutiques sprouting up everywhere, from Armani and Gucci to Zara and H&M. The city holds a great opportunity for those with an interest in fashion enabling them to find out about not only up-and-coming local designers, but also a collection of local brands, who, having already become well known in China are now verging on expanding overseas. China is a great place to start your career in the fashion industry. Currently most fashion brands are willing to develop a strong presence in China, and these international brands prefer to hire foreign young professionals who have some knowledge already of the Chinese market, either through studying or working there. Now also a growing number of Chinese fashion brands are interested in hiring foreign professionals to join their team in China which means not only plenty of opportunity here, but progressively they will need foreign staff to assist them in their development overseas, opening up a window of opportunities for our graduates. China is definitely the fastest growing market of fashion and luxury products in the world, consequently overseas companies and brands, especially in Europe, are now interested in hiring professionals with experience in China and with Chinese connections. Shanghai, in particular, has become a flourishing fashion capital, with labels from all over the world wanting to organize their glamorous parties, fashion shows and retrospective exhibitions there. IFA Paris provides a perfect partnership of East and West, by placing one of our colleges in Shanghai, we allow our students to soak up the Eastern fashion environment while still providing students with all the characteristics of a French fashion education, with the best in French instructors.
