FASHION & ACCESSORY DESIGN

FASHION DESIGN AT CAD – A PLACE TO DEVELOP YOUR WORLD

The Fashion section at CAD has been running for five years now, and we’re proud of how far it has come. Every year, our students create collections that are bold, personal, and radically different from one another. And that’s exactly what we’re aiming for: strong creative voices, distinctive identities, and designers who think for themselves.

This 3-year program trains students in every aspect of the profession. From day one, they develop their artistic culture, their eye for detail, their understanding of materials, volumes, and colours. They learn how to build a coherent collection, craft a visual identity, plan a fashion show, create compelling visuals, and present their work with confidence.

YOUR CREATIVITY, YOUR JOURNEY

At CAD, there is no one-size-fits-all. We challenge each student to explore their own creative world and push their ideas further. Our professors – all active professionals – share their expertise and guide students through their research, experiments, and ambitions. CAD is a school that prepares students for real life. Internships, workshops, public presentations and collaborations are an essential part of the programme. The rest? Our students write it through their creations..

– The CAD does not accept bank cheques. Tuition fees must be paid into one of the school’s bank accounts. For international transfers, bank charges are at the expense of the originator.
– Tuition fees remain as announced at the time of registration for the entire programme (except for students repeating the first year, if the price increases) unless inflation exceeds 5% per year, in which case the fees will be indexed.
– Since the number of students admitted each year is limited, the full tuition fee is due even in case of withdrawal or exclusion from the course.

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS

In France, Switzerland and Belgium, privateinstitutions cannot use the words Bachelor their programmes. We therefore use the terms Undergraduates 1° CYCLE (3 years – 180 ECTS) B.A. Note that these diplomas are equivalent to Bachelor’s degrees, but are not state- approved diplomas.
