The Design Village (TDV) has joined hands with Les Ateliers Alix (Couture fashion school In Paris) to promote understanding and goodwill, strengthen cultural ties and broaden student experience and horizons. The two institutions have agreed to a four-year bilateral international semester exchange to foster academic cooperation between the two parties.
The collaboration aims to strengthen design education in fashion and students learn directly from the professional Parisian couturiers and understand the minute technicalities that take into garment making. TDV said in a press communique. This collaboration would create an amalgamation of Indian craftsmanship with Parisian couture expertise. The vision of this MoU will be achieved through educational exchange, student engagement opportunities and research projects.
The school is in Paris and aims to train designers who can work in the fashion industry with all the essential skills needed in the field. The training is monitored ensuring the development of each student.
