BORDEAUX PREMISES
A living space dedicated to creativity in the heart of the Bassins à Flot.
ATLANTIC FASHION
Both ocean-facing and resolutely urban,
Bordeaux blends elegance and refinement with sportswear and the outdoors,
a clear link to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees.
Elegance and urban fashion
Just 2 hours by train from Paris, Bordeaux is considered to be the 21st arrondissement, and has earned its place in the world of fashion.
Inspired by a certain urban elegance and a proximity to nature (sea and mountains) anchored in their daily lives, the people of Bordeaux have made their city a creative reference in which fashion is omnipresent and sees the emergence of new talents .
Just like rue Sainte-Catherine, Europe's longest shopping street, clothing has a strong place in the city, which the finest brands have been able to identify, such as Hermès for luxury goods and Boardriders (Quicksilver, Roxy, Billabong, Rvca...) for outdoor wear.
Bordeaux's close ties with nature encourage designers to think in eco-responsible terms, and also foster the development of the vintage and second-hand trends (thrift shops, clothing sales, events).
STUDYING & LIVING IN BORDEAUX
Bordeaux, Paris's 21st arrondissement: a unique art of living!
Bordeaux is one of France's largest student cities. Renowned for its warm, epicurean lifestyle, students who come to our school benefit from a dynamic, trendy urban environment, just like the 21st arrondissement of Paris, while being close to the ocean and the Pyrenees for moments of relaxation and rejuvenation.
It's a city that encourages its inhabitants to get out and about, thanks to its rich culture and year-round life.

Following my Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing & Design, I also enrolled in the MPI Art Director Master's program at SUPMODE. The Bachelor's degree offers a dual skill set in design and marketing, which is one of the reasons why I chose SUPMODE. I found it very enriching to learn how to create as well as how to sell the product, to be able to grasp all the stages of production and sales.

Passionate about manga and art in general, I decided to pursue a career in fashion. Why did I choose SUPMODE? During my selection interview, I appreciated the school's educational approach and the course content! I did my end-of-study internship at Hermès, where I worked on collection plans and photo shoots for the fashion accessories division. I now work as an Assistant RTW Designer Menswear at Berluti.

My name is Rosa, and I am a second-year bachelor's student at SUPMODE. After an internship as a Patternmaking & Production Assistant at Asphalte in Bordeaux, I am currently working as a Product Manager Assistant at American Vintage. My duties in this position vary each day between fittings, creating prototypes, modifying patterns, and meeting with suppliers.

After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing & Design, I'm now setting up my own freelance business.

As a self-employed entrepreneur, I'm in charge of creating the training content and materials, communicating on the creation of my structure and all the administrative side.

I took the Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Modeling & Marketing, with a specialization in Marketing in 3rd year.

My name is Chloé, I'm 20, I live in Bordeaux and I'm in my2nd year of a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing & Design at SUPMODE! My internships at SUPMODE have made me realize that pattern-making isn't my favorite part of the job, unlike communications, which is an area where I see myself evolving.
Discover
I joined SUPMODE directly in my third year, through parallel admission, for the Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing & Design, specializing in Marketing. I chose Marketing as an option because it seemed logical to me to learn about all the tools needed for a brand to develop on the market, while also receiving highly specialized training in style, communication, digital marketing, and luxury goods. I began my career as Communications Manager for Marithé+François Girbaud. I joined Maison Amin Kader in 2023 as Communications Manager. I am responsible for social media, internal and external communications, and I also work with the artistic director.
