Meeting with IFA Paris

IFA Paris was founded in 1982. Where did the initial idea come from? 1982 is the official date, but the school was truly born in 1997, the fruit of a meeting between fashion specialist Olivia Chai and entrepreneur Patrick Kouzmine-Karavaieff. Together they relaunched the Paris school (300 students) and set up the Shanghai campus (700 students). What are the reasons behind the success of IFA Paris? First, we are truly international, with campuses in Paris, Shanghai and Istanbul. Second, we have consistently high academic standards. Third, there is a real ethos of creativity permeating all our programmes and courses.
