ALIZEE LAUGABachelor
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.
DiscoverAfter graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing & Design, I'm now setting up my own freelance business. My aim is to set up an online training center for adults, covering sewing and pattern-making. 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.
DiscoverI took the Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Modeling & Marketing, with a specialization in Marketing in 3rd year. Following my end-of-studies internship at Ba&Sh, I stayed on with them on a freelance contract for a few months, before being recruited on a permanent contract at Comptoir des Cotonniers in March 2020. My missions are very varied: management & creation of visual and digital communication media and internal communication.

Further information
Considering post-baccalaureate studies is often a crucial task when you want to study in the exciting field of fashion.
Our Bachelor of Fashion Design & Fashion Business is designed to meet the needs of students with a baccalaureate who wish to enroll in a program offering a cross-disciplinary approach.
Dual Competence is part of our commitment to training multi-skilled profiles from the very start of your training in higher education, offering a dynamic alternative to the more technically-oriented BTS in Fashion Design.
We combine the academic excellence of grandes écoles and business schools, preparing our students to excel in the world of fashion.
Aligned with the standards of our unique diploma in France (Titre RNCP), co-constructed thanks to advising by professionals in our network, aims to provide SUPMODE students with a comprehensive, strategic and practical education.
Choosing our school means embarking on an educational journey where your passion for fashion turns into a promising career.
Our Bachelor's degree in Fashion Designer & Brand Development is part of the applied arts and design sector, and aims to train designers, stylists and creatives capable of integrating strategic corporate issues.
From the first year onwards, the weeks are made up of courses in Fashion design or Model Making as well as projects in Communication or Marketing.
We teach our students versatility and open-mindedness by offering them two mid-year specializations: Fashion Design or Fashion Business.
Our national school of higher education is renowned for its innovative teaching methods and its approach focused on creative profiles, as embodied by our dual-skill diploma, the only one of its kind in France.
Our three-year program enables students with a passion for fashion to turn this passion into a profession. The fashion sector (also known as the textile industry) is one of the industries governed by numerous codes, with a wide range of businesses from Ready-to-wear to Haute-couture. Although most of our students often project a career in fashion design, during the Bachelor's program they discover a much wider range of expertise and applied knowledge.
Professionalization begins in the first year so that each student's integration into the world of work and his or her personal project become a real goal of the schooling cycle.
Every meeting with the people (professors, lecturers, alumni, etc.) who revolve around SUPMODE helps our students enter the world of work, by offering them the opportunity to develop their personal network and identify peers who can help them refine their career plans.
For example, if you
the desire to become a fashion designer that often inspires students applying to our school is often based on a preconceived idea of what designers do on a daily basis. That's why the first courses are devoted to the fashion panorama, to give you a 360° view of the opportunities available, and to broaden your perception and culture.
Although the fundamentals of the profession are the same for everyone (theory), there are many variations to the job of stylist, depending on: the company, the country, the materials, the challenges, the team, the machines...
For example, you may work as a pattern designer for one brand, or as a fashion stylist, taking care only of styling, while pattern-making is entrusted to someone else in another company.
The fashion industry is a particularly collaborative sector, and knowing how to value and share your work is essential.
From the very first year, you will be required to learn how to present your work, justify it and defend it during several presentations (often at the end of exercises, modules or exams, and in a collaborative and caring manner).
Learning to justify your creative choices is essential not only to enhance your skills, but also to create synergy with the members of your future team.
It is with this in mind that our students, right from the first year, present their work at the end of the year during the fashion show.
