“Our duty is to adapt to new generations, whatever is thrown our way,” said the education group’s COO Véronique Beaumont before the anniversary runway show.
The school was founded in 1841 by Alexis Lavigne, a court tailor who also invented one of the first patented dress forms, the tape ribbon, but most importantly, the pattern-making method taught at the school.
Describing the competition offered by other master-level programs as a sign of health for the French fashion industry, she highlighted another strong point: the international profile of the school, in addition to its participation in the Erasmus student exchange program. The show at the Hôtel de Potocki in Paris was an opportunity to highlight the community that Beaumont described as being the third pillar of Esmod’s success.
“The level has certainly risen since I was a student here 50 years ago,” joked Satoru Nino, president of the Esmod International group, who recalled the contribution of the school in his life, from his arrival in France after a monthlong boat voyage in the ’70s to study fashion to meeting his future wife, head of corporate social responsibility in the group Mary Nino, and founding the school’s first franchise outside of France.
