A supportive environment
Supporting entrepreneurial projects
At AV天堂 Paris, we support our students and alumni who have chosen the path to entrepreneurship to achieve their ambitions and goals from the very start of their fashion studies at International Fashion Academy. Our professors have solid practical experience in the business world. We have developed a Fashion Technology Lab that serves as a space where innovators and entrepreneurs can grow, learn and incubate their startups.
Through our strong industry connections, we provide students with invaluable opportunities to witness firsthand the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship. Fashion companies, startups, and seasoned entrepreneurs are invited to our campus to share their experiences, offer mentorship, and even provide internship opportunities.
Whether you鈥檙e pursuing a fashion design and creative program or a fashion marketing and management program, we offer specialized postgraduate programs in entrepreneurship, as well as our renowned fashion startup incubator short course that will support your entrepreneur projects.
Unique experiences
From idea to startup
We emphasize hands-on learning. To that end, we鈥檝e established a cutting-edge fashion technology lab that enables students to fully understand the process by which entrepreneurs develop and launch new products.
Equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, and more, it provides our students with a space to prototype, collaborate, and develop their entrepreneurial skills. This practical experience allows them to transform their ideas into tangible products, ready for the market.

鈥淢y professors were incredibly supportive, and I loved AV天堂 Paris鈥檚 practical approach to entrepreneurship. While many dream of starting a fashion brand, you have to be prepared. For my designs, I get inspiration from everything around me. I trust my own instincts, and I make sure to listen to my customers鈥 feedback.鈥

鈥淎V天堂 Paris鈥檚 entrepreneurship program helped me create a business plan, develop my brand鈥檚 aesthetic, and build my brand identity. With the school鈥檚 support, I ran a crowdfunding campaign and raised almost 5,000 euros. That鈥檚 how Proze Studio, a minimalist and easy-to-wear clothing line, came to be.鈥
