For the past 27 years, during which she has been the school’s pedagogical director, she has trained over 2,500 students, and defended the values ​​of fashion design, conveyed by the French expertise. {"The values ​​that the French stand for, in addition to those of democracy, are those of fashion design and luxury fashion companies which consider creativity to be a core value leading to success. Their success is not only due to the expertise and charm conveyed by products designed and manufactured in France, but also to the language that created a perfect environment for fashion designers to express themselves: the universal language of clothes, the allure, which has become an art form of its own."}
