Designers Apartment showroom visit
Strategic Design and Management students in “Global Practices” class visited the showrooms of Designers Apartment at Palais de Tokyo, an accelerator project developed by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode to support new talents. Patricia Lerat, who is mentoring 10 emergent designers each season, welcomed our students and spoke to them about the initiative.
Students were able to discover new designers, for example Marianna Ladreyt, a graduate of Gerrit Rietveld Academy and a finalist of Festival de Hyeres, who creates garments with embroidery that glows when photographed.
