PARIS SCHOOL

IFA Paris was established in 1982 to combine French fashion heritage with the modern globalized world. As the only institute in Paris offering all its undergraduate and postgraduate courses taught in English and French, IFA Paris caters to a highly international student body from all corners of the world. International Fashion Academy, better known as IFA Paris, offers students undergraduate courses in design and marketing, and postgraduate courses in design, business, communication and luxury in an environment of multidisciplinary collaboration. With campuses in Paris, Shanghai and Istanbul, IFA Paris is at the forefront of fashion and luxury education and offers courses that reflect the breadth of opportunities available in this vibrant industry.

Recently relocated to 18-24 Quai de la Marne, IFA Paris overlooks the famed canal and is at the heart of the developing 19th arrondissement. The new location has trippled the size of the previous academic facilities and added extensive new amenities to benefit students, including bigger classrooms, a student lounge space, and a resource and study center. The building will also house several new fashion workshop spaces to accommodate hands-on projects

SHANGHAI SCHOOL

IFA Paris has become the leading fashion school in China and is unique in demonstrating its dedication to success by bringing the best, mostly French professional fashion instructors. 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. IFA’s Shanghai school offers a unique opportunity to international students who wish to gain insight into the world’s fastest-growing fashion and luxury market while receiving the same high-quality curriculum taught in English as in Paris. Shanghai is an open and extroversive metropolis and its ascent into the ranks as a fashion capital is no doubt a serious topic. Since the later period of the 19th century, Shanghai has been the fashion center of China. The Shanghai style traveled the world in the 1920s and 30s and re-emerged in the present with fashion designers using a mixture of traditional and modern ideas to create fresh fashion trends. Remarkably, it’s the country’s modern-day consumers who are transforming China into the world’s largest market for luxury and high-end fashion products. Shanghai is unquestionably China’s Mecca for international fashion and the luxury industry. Most foreign fashion and jewelry brands, from luxury to mass markets, count on more than one shop in the city’s numerous fashion retailing districts and major shopping centers. While luxury cars, 5 stars hotels, and high-end dining are regular sights in the city’s downtown, there is also now a growing interest for yachts and private jets among China’s richest.

ISTANBUL SCHOOL

After being established in France and China, the IFA Paris fashion school is now also present in one of the most vibrant cities located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia: Istanbul.

IFA Paris is very proud to cooperate with one of the most reputable universities in Istanbul: Nisantasi University. Located in the modern complex of Maslak 1453, Nistantasi University offers a great variety of facilities and security including residences, shops, cafes and restaurants. Since foundation of the university, it has expanded to a few other campuses but now this new main campus combines elegant facades, sunny atrias with large airy interiors with quality education and research facilities.

The campus of Nisantasi University represents a major step in fulfilling the university's mission of building a future out of the country's past, establishing a hub in the business center of Istanbul, where culture, education and learning meet to address the changing needs of Turkey and the world. IFA Paris believes it is a privilege, as well as an advantage for its' students to make the best out of what the location can offer.

Being one of the most exciting and dynamic cities in the world, and a diversified place full of museums, galleries, parks and modern colleges, Istanbul is able to provide a stage for those who long for exploring and developing their own interests, and starting a career in the fashion and luxury business environments.
