Our educational approach to fashion training
Develop your creativity and master your craft.
At Atelier Chardon Savard, we train professionals in fashion design, accessory design, textile design, fashion communication and more.
Our educational approach focuses on your personality, cultural awareness and practical skills, supported by a high-quality teaching team and guest lecturers such as fashion stylists, designers, creators, journalists and industry figures.
We privilege intuition and originality over a purely academic system, constantly stimulating your creativity.
The aim is innovation and freedom within a rigorous working environment, with access to a network of luxury and ready-to-wear companies, as well as media contacts, throughout your studies and after graduation.
Fashion culture: research, document, analyse
Feed your imagination with knowledge. Your creativity grows through documentary research in reference works, museums and exhibitions, and through continually updating your cultural background.
Courses in fashion culture, art history, civilisations, marketing and languages encourage you to observe the world around you and detect emerging trends.
This analytical foundation helps you build a solid understanding of fashion and its context.
Fashion studio: design, draw, choose
Fashion is a language, and vocabulary matters. The ability to construct and promote meaningful collections comes from mastering that vocabulary.
Early in the course, collective research on assigned themes helps you expand your style lexicon.
Precise communication of your projects is achieved through constant practice of drawing, illustration and photography, and by mastering the relationships between shapes, materials and colours.
The studio environment fosters creativity while grounding ideas in visual expression.
Workshops: experiment, build, prototype
From concept to prototype. In our sewing workshops, creating prototypes engages your imagination while addressing technical aspects.
Hands-on practice allows you to give form to your stylistic concepts and test their feasibility.
You learn to consider industrial, technological and economic realities, and to apply rigorous, precise techniques.
Through experimentation, construction and prototyping, you transform ideas into tangible garments.
