Admissions process
The admissions process is in 3 parts:
1- Eligibility
on the basis of the application
The application enables the candidate to present their creative
universe, their previous achievements and designs, their professional
objectives and motivation. Eligibility is decided on careful
examination of the application by an IFM internal selection
committee.
2- Preparing and sending elements
for application for the admissions jury
The following elements must be sent to the IFM by the candidate
for examination by the admissions jury:
- a design (garment) according to a theme given by the IFM
- a recent portfolio
- a 10 to 15 minute (max) video cassette introducing the candidate
to the jury without having to be present.
This video should be in three parts: a presentation of the
candidate's projects and personal work , an exposé
of the concept behind his or her set project and finally a
spontaneous answer to a question in a sealed envelope to be
opened on camera.
3- Presentation of complete
application to the jury without the candidate
A number of recruitment sessions are organized at the IFM
between May and October each year. They bring together members
of the IFM's teaching staff and professionals who examine
all of the elements that make up the application (video, portfolio,
set project…). The application is examined together and
is followed by a telephone conversation with the candidate
to enable the jury to make a final decision. In certain cases,
a complementary piece of personal work may be required to
clarify certain aspects of the application.
