Aspiring fashion designers in the UAE can look forward to broader horizons as French Fashion University Esmod announces the launch of its three-year bachelor’s degree programme in Fashion Design and Pattern Drafting for the 2008-2009 school year.
The programme is certified by the Paris-based French Ministry of Education. |

Esmod, which is located in Dubai Academic City, will also offer three-to-six-month workshops in Costume and Stage Design (to be conducted by an Esmod specialist), Nightwear and Kids Fashion.
These courses will be beneficial to those who have no previous experience in the industry but are eager to learn the essentials of fashion history and design from international experts.
Tamara Hostal, Director of Esmod, is optimistic about the institution’s prospects for the coming school year.
According to her, “Esmod has been a leading name in the international fashion industry for more than 160 years and has influenced French fashion throughout the world. As the only fashion university in the Middle East, we are constantly expanding our programmes to keep up with new trends and preferences. The courses we have lined up for the new academic year has been carefully selected to reflect high-growth areas in the fashion industry, providing our students with optimum career prospects after graduation.” |
Since Esmod’s Middle East campus was opened in 2006, the university’s fashion programmes have attracted a significant number of designers-in-training.
At present, the university has 60 students from over 15 countries.
Esmod’s students have won several major industry distinctions, including the Swarovski Young Designer of the Year Award and the Swarovski Innovation Award.
The University has also been a strong presence in prestigious events such as the Dubai International Fashion Week, the Bride Show Dubai, and several cultural exhibitions. |

Thus far, Esmod has hosted and participated in more than eight other fashion shows.
Most recently, the university has established partnerships with French fabric manufacturers Jabouley Dentelle, Andre Avio, Tissages De L’aigle, Franfitex, Verne & Clet, Togonal, Peltex, Stock Union, Wed, Avelana, Sofitela, and Philea to give its students access to fabrics that are otherwise unavailable in the UAE. |
Esmod’s leadership in fashion education is highlighted by the entry of more experts to its faculty in the 2008-2009 school year.
These French professionals – all certified by Esmod Paris – are expected to uphold the university’s focus on fashion as a vital element of today’s sophisticated lifestyles. |
