- A formation in 5 years, articulating around two principal axes: STYLISM and FASHION DESIGN.
Stylism responds to a precise demand in the given context. It disappears in a strategy of mark under all its
aspects : production, communication, distribution, active research, etc. The cultural, social, ethical and technical
competencies allied to the faculty of analysis, of justness of perception and of communication, are the qualities of
a designer placed in the center of a business.
Fashion design, less determined by economic logic, develops a more personal and innovative language.
These two disciplines have in common the inscription of the body through the use of volumes, images, colours,
and materials : they study all the facets of fashion as a form of contemporary expression - http://www.lacambre.be/dbfiles/mfile/600/616/mfile0437.pdf
