Amazed or disappointed after your first fashion week at university?

If you are doubting, then it’s not too late to start this academic year at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy. From styling competitions, to photo shootings, professional workshops, visits to museums and fashion stores, the students of the Amsterdam Fashion Academy were totally immersed in the culture and creativity of Amsterdam during the induction fashion week. Watch the movie below and if you dream of being part of this intimate and small boutique academy, please be aware that there are still few places available in the Fashion with Textiles Design (Hons) BA and that you are still on time to enter in the programme now.

 

 

Induction fashion week was truly an inspiring, exciting and fun time with students and staff all getting to know each other. The 65 students who chose the Amsterdam’s finest international fashion academy come from every corner of Europe and the world, bringing an international vibe and different points of view. The highest quality of the international teaching staff flourishes in the informal and friendly atmosphere by having the time and space needed to nurture individual talent and creativity.

 

“A new year means new people! We would like to say hello and welcome to the new students and we wish them lot of luck, inspiration and most of all, fun! For this new school year, we are planning many competitions, exhibitions and collaborations with the industry to give the students more experience in the real world, starting now by bringing a group of them to the Amsterdam Fashion Week and to a masterclass by Viktor & Rolf”, says Iris Peitzmeier, Managing Director.

More information about the Amsterdam Fashion Academy.
The Amsterdam Fashion Academy is a private international fashion school situated in the heart of Amsterdam; this state-of the-art academy has become a hub of student-centred learning with a high level of personal attention while also focusing on graduate employability. The Academy opened its doors in 2013 and was soon able to offer university awarded British Bachelor’s Honours degrees in Fashion with Textiles Design and Fashion Business, accredited by the reputable Buckinghamshire New University in England, along with a Fashion Foundation programme. This also means the degrees are aligned with the UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) standards. The Amsterdam Fashion Academy prides itself on being a, small and personal fashion school putting quality before quantity. In 2017 it moved to its current location in an elegant townhouse in the heart of Amsterdam, which helps create a more friendly and informal atmosphere where students can get to know each other better and inspire each other.

Internship

All 2nd-year students are spending the semester doing interesting and exciting fashion internship experiences in the fashion industry. This is what two students told us about their experience:

 

“As a Bachelor’s degree student, I was given the opportunity to gain greater knowledge of the fashion industry and the design process with an internship at the headquarters of Essentiel Antwerp. Working side by side with the designers, stylists I experienced the various steps of the design process – choosing the right fabrics, creating a colour story, receiving first prototypes of a garment, fittings, quality checking and of course the thrill of a collection presentation show” – Evelina Anglickaite

 

“When I started my internship on the 1st of February 2018, the collection AW18 was already finished, but I had the big opportunity to work in the main photoshoot and in the preparation of the look books. After that we started to design the SS19 collection, for which I worked with showpiece patterns, creation of hoodies and short cords from scratch, as well as fabric dying, styling and mood boards” – Myrthe van der Leden

 

Stay tuned to see the photos of the final show with pieces by the Fashion with Textiles Design BA 3rd-year students.

On the 9th of February we held the first interview day at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy for 2018 intake. It’s a day when we invite a group of potential fashion students to come and work with us. An important day for all concerned. The day is designed to give our team the chance to spend time with potential students of our three fashion programmes validated by Bucks New University (Fashion Business (Hons) BA, Fashion with Textiles Design (Hons) BA, Foundation Diploma) and work with them so they can get a real feel of what it is like at our international fashion academy, meet other would-be students and also see Amsterdam.

 

Last week our first group of 15 potential fashion students came from all corners of Europe: Netherlands, UK, Italy, Poland, Greece, Switzerland, Luxemburg, Germany and Norway. This to underline once again the international value of our boutique academy. They worked from 10:00m to 4:00pm with our lecturers Laura Malone and Laura Lepre and created mood boards based on their own taste and personality and in the meantime each student had an interview with Cristiano Carciani, Head of school.

 

We are holding two more interview days: March 23rd and April 26th. So if you missed out on this one but are still interested in studying fashion in Amsterdam, then please contact us as soon as possible. We will more than happy to inform you how to be shortlisted for the next two groups of potential fashion students.
