The Designer Textile diploma at ENSCI-Les Ateliers trains designers who take a structural approach to textile, from the emergence of a concept to the production of a material, exploring traditional techniques (weaving, knitting, braiding) and innovative ones (3D printing, laser cutting, connected textiles). The diploma carries the grade of Master.
Duration: 3 to 5 years depending on entry category (category I: 5 years; II: 4; III: 3; IV: minimum 3) | Study mode: full-time; French | Intake: September | Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France
Phase 1 covers textile expression tools (weaving, knitting, textile manipulation), plastic expression (colour, drawing, digital creation) and communication tools. In phase 2 students apply this in project workshops and complete a six-month professional placement and/or an international university stay. The diploma phase comprises a six-month dissertation and a diploma project, defended once a year in June.
Textile design applies to fashion, home, transport, architecture and outdoor, as well as fields such as health, safety, mobility and communication. The school offers a design-oriented incubator and accelerator for young graduates.
