The fashion school at INVALID ATELIER offers a wide range of courses.
Our Fashion Design & Fashion Technique courses are based on a unique concept. With individual guidance, you will first sketch your own design, create a pattern based on it, and then make your own garment.
The sewing courses include all necessary materials, such as test fabric, (pattern) drafting paper, and haberdashery. Of course, you are welcome to use our sewing and overlock machines.
During the pattern-making course, you will build a foundation in understanding, drafting, and adjusting patterns.
Fashion is a craft, and the courses focus on developing the right skills while helping you discover your own design style or signature. Students are challenged to push their limits and realize their dream designs. Together, we create high-fashion of the highest quality.
The courses are held in the professional workshop of INVALID Atelier. The workshop has a young, international, and dynamic atmosphere. Since each student works on their own project, the courses are accessible to everyone—from young to old, and from beginners to advanced.
We are committed to ensuring that you leave with the skills and confidence to tackle future sewing challenges.
Haute Couture is for everyone!
