THE CLASS OF 2008

On Tuesday June 17, the graduates of the class of 2008 of the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne exhibited their collections at the Nikki Diana Marquardt Gallery in the Place des Vosges from 10 am to 8:30 pm. This year, the clothes were displayed in an installation rather than modeled in a traditional fashion show. This new approach, which resulted in an event that was a mix of a “happening” and a stroll, allowed visitors to discover the work which was the culmination of the students' three year program. More significantly, it helped to express the aspirations and the goals of the graduates in addition to the objectives of the curriculum administered by the Ecole Saint-Roch. A document with photos (here below, from Vincent Sannier) of the students' work was given out during this exhibit and it is available by e-mail request to ecole@modeaparis.com.
