IFA Paris Interview With Graduates Of Sino French Fashion Institute

This is a creative industry team dominated by young people. They take the fashion designer, stylist, market commissioner, visual editor, brand buyer, shop manager and so on. They shuttle throughout the international fashion circles, fashion shops and major fashion venues, and make daily contacts with Chinese clothes.

With the rapid development of China's fashion education industry, graduates from year to year are stepping into the society and holding important positions in various posts in the fashion industry.

What are they doing now? Are they still committed to this field that once gave them unlimited hope? I contacted several IFA Paris graduates of the Fashion Institute of Sino French EFI, and talked about their job search experience to see how they realized their dreams in this vibrant industry.

Recent situation: Italy luxury brand Fendi - shop sales

Tu Kehong's classmates and mentors tell us that he is a man who strives for perfection in his work and study, especially when he designs his own fashion.

He brought his attention to detail to his career planning in the field of luxury.

He shared with us his experience in China's fashion retailing and his long-term plan.

"I have a relatively clear career plan for the luxury clothing and fur industry that I am entering: my goal is to become a buyer of LVMH in Shanghai within five years.

Not long ago, I finished my internship at PRADA, and I could say that I enjoyed the whole process.

Brand training for an intern is invaluable, professional and unique.

Through these internship opportunities, I realized that I already had more solid sales and communication skills.

I also learned how to convince consumers and how to build customer relationships with future consumers.

"In IFA Paris, every student can get very professional guidance, and every individual has been given very high attention. I think it plays a decisive role in the success of a student in the future.

I am full of confidence in the skills and theories I learned in IFA Paris.

Recent situation: London famous fashion brand Alexander McQueen studio -- printing and fabric designer

After winning the gold medal in Shanghai's graduation show in 2012, Sabine began to search for internship opportunities and submitted applications to many brands, and received many replies.

There are many Balmain studios in Paris, Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang in American studios.

Finally, she was lucky enough to join Alexander McQueen's studio in London.

At present, Sabine is responsible for printing and fabric team work, besides printing design, jacquard fabric design, laser cutting, and design of convex fabric are also included.

For IFA Paris, the French Fashion Institute of fashion, Sabine has many words to say: "in school, my favorite course is fashion design, because in this course, I can freely express my ideas and creativity almost madly.

But to say the most beneficial lesson for me, it should be a flat / placement course.

Before entering IFA Paris, I knew nothing about fabric and cutting, and now I can serve as a designer assistant for printing and textiles.

Speaking of skills, what I want to say is that you need to have a certain understanding of every technology: imagination, creativity, application of software, typing, etc.

Of course, a lot of skills are mastered in the process of work, because every brand and company has its own way of operation. What the school is learning is laying the foundation for future learning and life.

Recent situation: the founder of independent designer brand "relative fiber"

Wang Jing's first job was accounting, but because he was too fond of painting and fashion design, he finally decided to lay down his work and start learning fashion design.

"Fortunately, I met two good teachers in IFA Paris, and made me more firm on this road.

After graduating from IFA, I am very cautious about choosing jobs. I have been trying to make the original design route.

For designers who are committed to original design, building and developing their brands is my common ideal with my wife.

In my design, I use some interesting elements and wonderful colors. I hope people who wear my clothes can appreciate their intentions and feel happy.

The "relative" team consists of 9 people, including 3 operators and marketing personnel, 1 art workers, one designer, 1 product commissioners, 2 sample workers and 1 print masters.

Wang Qing himself is responsible for all the series of design, photography and graphic design work.

At present, "relative fiber" has several sales outlets in Shanghai, and the products are also sold in the designer's integration store of the 798 Design Park in Beijing.

There are Thai customers and Hongkong fashion editors.

Six months after the opening of the business, a shopkeeper who runs a designer's integrated store in Montreal contacted Wang Qing, who expressed interest in the products of "relative Lun". In this way, the brand began to cooperate with Canadian fashion shops.

At present, the sales of the shops are good, and the fashion in every season is basically sold out. Some popular styles even get lost in a few days on the shelves.
