Fashion school Esmod Dubai has revealed that students enrolling in the institution’s three-year fashion course are showing great potential and fashion is emerging as a popular career prospect among students in the Middle East.

“We are very happy to see that incoming students of our fashion courses are showing greater potential. Esmod Dubai provides a unique avenue for students to study fashion and someday launch their own collection. With this trend, Dubai is certainly on track to produce a new breed of world-class and talented fashion designers,” said Tamara Hostal, director and founder of Esmod. 

The fashion school said the course has attracted students from different countries across the region and that enrollment is ongoing until September 25.

The graduation fashion show by Esmod’s students inspired designers with the 20-plus themes presented by over 110 models to an audience of more than 1,000 during a public fashion show last June.

The show affirmed the success of the school’s three-year program, the latest term of which will commence in a few weeks’ time. 

The program’s first year teaches freshmen basic techniques and prepares them for higher-level design; the second year exposes sophomores to various products and collections and hones their creativity; while the third year guides juniors through their chosen specialisation such as ready to wear, haute couture and new couture, and helps them build their own personal collection.

Hostal said: “Dubai has the potential to be on par with the likes of Paris, New York and London as a leading fashion destination, and the Emirate will certainly play a key role in establishing the UAE as the Middle East’s fashion hub. It is thus important to keep the spirit of fashion alive by constantly showcasing the creations of local talents and encouraging the youth to pursue fashion design as a profession.”

“There is exceptional interest in the world of fashion nowadays and we hope to sustain this momentum through Esmod Dubai’s fashion courses and the various fashion shows that we regularly organise, which we hope will help preserve the UAE’s unique position in the global fashion scene,” she said.

Esmod Dubai is the only French fashion institution fully dedicated to professional fashion training in the Middle East. It is the Dubai campus of Esmod International, which was established in Paris in 1841 by the French tailor, inventor, and innovator Alexis Lavigne. – TradeArabia News Service
