At IFA Paris, we foster an entrepreneurial mindset, recognizing its importance in today’s fashion industry. We are committed to our students’ success and have integrated an entrepreneurial spirit into every aspect of our school, from our curriculum to our global network.
A supportive environment
Supporting entrepreneurial projects
At IFA Paris, we support our students and alumni who have chosen the path to entrepreneurship to achieve their ambitions and goals from the very start of their fashion studies at International Fashion Academy. Our professors have solid practical experience in the business world. We have developed a Fashion Technology Lab that serves as a space where innovators and entrepreneurs can grow, learn and incubate their startups.
Through our strong industry connections, we provide students with invaluable opportunities to witness firsthand the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship. Fashion companies, startups, and seasoned entrepreneurs are invited to our campus to share their experiences, offer mentorship, and even provide internship opportunities.
Whether you’re pursuing a fashion design and creative program or a fashion marketing and management program, we offer specialized postgraduate programs in entrepreneurship, as well as our renowned fashion startup incubator short course that will support your entrepreneur projects.
Unique experiences
From idea to start-up
We emphasize hands-on learning. To that end, we’ve established a cutting-edge fashion technology lab that enables students to fully understand the process by which entrepreneurs develop and launch new products.
Equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, and more, it provides our students with a space to prototype, collaborate, and develop their entrepreneurial skills. This practical experience allows them to transform their ideas into tangible products, ready for the market.
IFA Paris’ Successful Fashion Entrepreneurs
“I was able to apply much of what I learned at IFA Paris to create my fashion brand. The school provided me with the necessary tools and we worked on numerous projects that prepared me for this.”
Fernanda del Callejo
“My professors were incredibly supportive, and I loved IFA Paris’s practical approach to entrepreneurship. While many dream of starting a fashion brand, you have to be prepared. For my designs, I get inspiration from everything around me. I trust my own instincts, and I make sure to listen to my customers’ feedback.”
Olivia Baudin – Founder of Jane & Co (Scarf brand)
“IFA Paris’s entrepreneurship program helped me create a business plan, develop my brand’s aesthetic, and build my brand identity. With the school’s support, I ran a crowdfunding campaign and raised almost 5,000 euros. That’s how Proze Studio, a minimalist and easy-to-wear clothing line, came to be.”
Thomas Pouget – Founder of Proze Studio (Easy-to-wear clothing brand)
