Bachelors in Fashion & Textile Design College of Arts and Design Brussels

In order to meet the growing demand of students looking for a fashion design school in Brussels, the CAD has teamed up with two fashion professionals: Jean Paul Knott and Edouard Vermeulen to create a three-year fashion design training programme. At the CAD, the training of future designers begins with the development of their artistic culture, their eye for detail, their curiosity, their sense of proportions, volumes, materials, fabrics and colours. In keeping with the CAD’s philosophy of preparing its students for the reality of the professional world, the school also strives to prepare them for life in a fashion house. For this, they learn to create the visual identity of a clothing line for example, and to imagine the presentation of products, their photography, and the different components of a fashion show. Throughout this 3-year cycle, students will develop their creativity to bring innovative solutions to their concepts. They will start by using “traditional” textiles to create women’s, men’s, mixed and children’s collections. They will then tackle the issue of inexhaustible sources of natural and recycled materials. Finally, and this is an important challenge, our students will develop the technical skills needed to put the most innovative ideas into practice, to work with new so-called ‘intelligent’ textiles, and to understand the technologies of tomorrow.

The College of Arts and Design Brussels (CADB) stands as a beacon of creative excellence within the heart of Belgium's capital city.
