This year’s theme is La Mode. Through performances, presentations, and activities, students will explore the history, people, and “wow” of French fashion. Oh là là c’est chic! *

French fashion has long been admired as a pinnacle of sophistication, elegance, and innovation. From haute couture to everyday chic, the influence of French fashion designers, iconic fashion houses, and trends has been profound, extending its reach to shape global style. From the garments themselves to the full range of accessories, French designers have you covered de la tête aux pieds—mais pour un prix, bien sûr! Chanel, Dior, Gautier, Givenchy, Hermès, Lanvin, Vuitton, YSL, … on n’en finit pas!

« La mode se démode, le style jamais. » Coco Chanel
