IFA Paris is a French fashion school established in Shanghai since 2002, it prides itself in being the first Sino-French joint venture in fashion education to be approved by the Chinese government. Today, it has become the leading fashion design school in China and the only one that proves its dedication to fashion by using the best professional instructors from France; offering Bachelor’s and Master’s programs and counting over 800 students.
As for our French campus, Through its alliance with AICP (Academie Internationale de Coupe de Paris), IFA Paris is able to take advantage of an ancient tradition in pattern making & draping, dating back to 1830. While IFA Paris’ primary focus is on design, looking at both Parisian and international styles and trends, AICP has, in itself, also contributed to the fashion world by developing its own method of patternmaking and draping. The campus finds itself located in Paris’ 15th arrondisement.
The alliance of IFA Paris and AICP rely on the vast experience of its Academic Committee, composed exclusively of the most respected professionals from France's leading haute couture and ready-to-wear houses including Yves Saint-Laurent’s Manager of Pattern Making and John Galliano’s Manager of Women’s Collections.
IFA Paris provides a perfect partnership of East and West, by placing one of our colleges in Shanghai, we allow our students to soak up the Eastern fashion environment while still providing students with all the characteristics of a French fashion education, with the best in French instructors. Through our international and cutting edge curriculum we help students to strive towards their dream job wherever that may be in the World.
Another nightly pattern! I like this one a lot because it's got a really stringy feeling to it because of all of the little seeds and sticks! Part of 101florals.blogspot.com and on my personal blog: blog.paperbicycle.com

Pictures rescued from the photographic archive of Keighley lathe manufacturers Dean, Smith And Grace. "Deans" was founded in 1865 and made the "Rolls Royce Of Lathes" . My dad worked here as a patternmaker from 1964 until until the company closed in 1992, and my brother served his engineering apprenticeship here in the late 80s. At one time, Deans was such a large employer that Keighley's town holidays were based around those of the factory.
This is the patternshop where my dad worked. Patternmakers considered themselves to be the aristocrats of craftsmen, and traditionally always wore ties.
