Our DNA
Creativity, innovation, impact: build your career in fashion, luxury and the creative industries
Why join EIDM?
Our project-based teaching puts students in real-world situations throughout their studies: staging a fashion show, producing a magazine, opening a pop-up store, work placements in industry. They do not simply follow a programme, they gradually build their portfolio, their network and their professional future.
A multidimensional, demanding and career-focused approach, which is why our students find a job in just a few months.
Our vision
Ranked among the world's 177 best business schools, EIDM comes in 79th and stands as the leading French fashion school in the global business school rankings.
Aline Meynard, Director of EIDM
This conviction shapes all of our programmes, from Bachelor to Master's. We do not train people for a sector, but in a way of thinking and acting: that of the managers who will grow tomorrow's creative brands, in fashion, luxury, retail, the customer experience and far beyond.

Our teaching approach
An innovative teaching approach
Through career-focused projects and masterclasses. Staging your own fashion show in the first year of the Bachelor's, creating a magazine in the second year, or opening and running a pop-up store from start to finish: that is the promise of EIDM through its “Learning by doing” approach.
A school with a firmly international outlook
With our 16 partner universities around the world, our programmes taught entirely in English and our seminars and study trips abroad, the international dimension has been an integral part of EIDM's DNA since the school was founded.
Compulsory work placement periods
Professional immersion accounts for a substantial part of the programmes offered by EIDM. Students can enrol on a work-study programme from the third year of the Bachelor onwards, and complete a total of 12 months of work placement across the Bachelor and the Master's.
Qualifications recognised in France and worldwide
Our Bachelor's and Master's courses award school qualifications at three- and five-year higher education level, with RNCP Level 6 qualifications for the Bachelor's programmes and Level 7 for the Master's programmes in image, styling, art direction, communication and marketing for fashion and luxury.
Professionals to train you
At EIDM, our lecturers are recognised professionals from the fashion and luxury management sector, either currently working in the field or drawn from senior management roles. Their hands-on expertise guarantees teaching that is concrete, current and directly applicable.
Selected for their expertise and their ability to pass on knowledge, they contribute to a demanding, career-focused approach. Through regular monitoring and continuous improvement, EIDM guarantees training that is aligned with market expectations and geared towards employability.
Disability support
We pay particular attention to making our programmes accessible to people with a disability, whether visible or not and whether temporary or permanent. Our staff are trained to support you should you need specific adjustments. The EIDM schools work with partner organisations that help people with disabilities into employment.
A disability officer has been appointed in each school to support you throughout your course. Please do get in touch so that we can adapt your programme together.
