Because, really, why else would you move to Paris?
Just picture it, a dream for many and a reality for a select few, launching your fashion career in Paris, one of the world capitals of fashion. Immerse yourself in luxury fabrics designing stunning haut couture creations and the top end range of glamorous designer dresses. Colour, texture, fabric, style, if those words send a thrilled shiver down your spine, then this is a daydream to which you can relate!
Worship at the high altar of fashion at the House of Dior and envelope your senses with Christian Dior and Dior Homme. Follow in the footsteps of Marc Jacobs and conquer the fashion world.
Perhaps you prefer to opt for a more street-savvy ready-to-wear style and see your future marked out in producing designer jeans, the type that grace the screens of MTV or the hips of swaggering celebrities as they embrace a mode that's both casual and cool. Maybe even you've got your eye on designing life's little essential accessories and are much more captivated by innovative jewellery and designer handbags. Keep dreaming, for who knows? One day the dream might even become reality!
It's time to wake up to an interesting possibility though, as many prestigious design schools and renowned fashion houses in Paris offer courses ranging from one day to one year for any aspiring fashion designers out there. Try your hand at your own artistic “haute couture” creation, with guidance from the experts and all materials and trimmings provided. For more information, check out online classifieds or Paris street press to find out the courses and programmes offered by the houses, schools and institutes throughout the French capital.
