The CAP in fashion trades, unclear clothing, allows you to work in large companies, SMEs or craft businesses that have an activity in ready-to-wear, medium and high-end.

We use « blur » to make flexible and unstructured clothes (dresses, interior clothes, shirts, layettes, etc.). The fabric used must be fine and supple.

Art and other concepts

A Tout Sens is a Toulouse company created in 2005, specializing in event communication through art. It is the basis of a project that mixes Haute Couture and art. The company developed the idea internationally with an unprecedented event « When Haute Couture Dress the Grands Crus ». It was a global concept around fashion, artistic creation and wine that started as soon as the invitation was received. Collaborations with regional artists and designers!

In the same vein, the Creators of Passage àart collaborated with musician Mellie Pascal-Rohken on a project bringing together fashion and music in a show.

This project was essentially based on the links between fashion creations and the musical works performed during the presentation. The performance took place on May 22 in the Espace Roguet auditorium in Toulouse.

The idea was to create paintings in which models and musicians shared the stage. The musicians on stage chose musical pieces related to the creations presented. highlighting the characteristics of each creation and vice versa. It was not just a parade to display the creations. It was a staging with staging games, interactions between the models presenting the different creations, with the music and the musicians… This collaboration between the Fashion School and the flutist brought together Musicians, Creators of Fashion and Dancer in order to present the creations on stage.
