About the Trip

8 TaF.tc students spent 10 days in Paris last May. They were warmly welcomed by our long-time partner Atelier Chardon Savard. Together with ACS, we have been organizing fashion trips between Paris and Singapore since 2016! Time flies! This was the first trip to Paris since Covid… We are so pleased to announce that they are back on schedule! Do not miss our future trips!

During their stay, the group was accompanied by Louise Clément, International Business Development Senior Executive at TaF.tc and a former Parisian! Here is a sneak peek at everything they got the chance to see and experiment throughout their stay in France:
‍
- 5 days training at ACS’s historical headquarter, in the centre of Paris
=> a well-balanced mix between styling and fashion illustration course. They explored what the concept of creative process is through hybridization and experimentation.

- 1 day visit of the iconic Parisian fashion districts
=> The Rue Saint Honoré and Avenue Montaigne have no more secrets for our students! And you know what? The flagship stores from the major luxury fashion houses such as Dior, Balenciaga, Balmain, Chanel, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, etc. were part of the itinerary...

- 3 visits to fashion museums
=> The Louvre, the Palais Galliera, as well as the Centre Pompidou were on the bucket list!

- 1 day visit to a fake fur Parisian company
=> TaF.tc students had the opportunity to visit ECOPEL, a faux-fur artisan company working with all the major fashion brands willing to change the world. We talked about the future of fashion, creativity, sustainability, innovations and animal-free garments.

- 2 fashion shows
‍=> ACS invited our students to attend their two very exclusive yearly fashion shows! Front row! And with an exclusive access to the backstage!

So. Do you want to be next? Are you illing to gain new skills and enlarge your business network, all while enjoying the sight and sounds of a buzzling metropolis?! Sign up here to register your interest for our May trip to France! To find out more, you can contact us atlouiseclement@taftc.org

“I wanted to create my own shoes to solve a problem for myself and other women like myself. The best thing was the fact that it was condensed - it was only going to be about 13 weeks, so I could do it very easily. I love the staff: they've been really helpful, really encouraging, really supportive, and they really do take your viewpoints on board. I now have some real knowledge of what goes into making shoes.”
