Esmod Dubai, the only French institute fully dedicated to fashion in the region, will host renowned French fashion designer Alain Germain at its premises from January 29th for a week-long workshop on art-inspired costume design. The workshop will be followed by an exclusive exhibition of the new creations at the Wafi mall in Dubai from February 3rd.

Alain Germain is known for his distinctive costume designs that are inspired by simple objects, household articles and paintings, which is a novel design concept for fashion students in the region. Mr Germain has previously collaborated with Esmod Dubai for an ‘object costume’ exhibition, in addition to a unique project last year that involved the creation of dresses inspired by illustrious 20th century artists.

Mr. Germain, whose collection of stage costumes is registered with the performing arts fund of the French Bibliothèque Nationale, has studied music, choreography and architecture, and is also an accomplished music composer, painter and novelist.

“I am excited to once again share my knowledge with the students of Esmod Dubai who have greatly impressed me with their skill and creativity. Esmod Dubai, with its excellent infrastructure and range of courses, has been offering the ideal platform for students of fashion to demonstrate their true potential and hone their talent,” said Mr. Germain.

Tamara Hostal, Director and Founder, Esmod Dubai, said: “Ever since our inception we have been committed to exposing our students to the latest trends in regional and international fashion by hosting renowned fashion designers at our campus. By interacting closely with famed designers like Alain Germain our students have the opportunity to learn first hand about the finer points of fashion and costume design. We expect the upcoming workshop and exhibition to be highly rewarding and exciting for everyone involved.”

Esmod Dubai also announced that the second batch of its 3-year program commences on January 29, 2012. This comprehensive program covers fashion design, pattern making, textile science, haute couture, and computer assisted design. The First Year focuses on basic techniques and preparation for higher-level design; the Second Year on familiarization with various products and collections and the development of personal creativity; and the Third Year on specialization and the making of personal collections.
