ESMOD FRENCH FASHION INSTITUTE

This institute is the world’s first and the oldest design school whose founder is Alexis Lavigne, Master Tailor in the Paris of the nineteenth century, who was notably tailor to the Empress Eugénie. He was the inventor of many patented tools still used in sewing, including the model’s bust and the tape measure.

His investment in the transfer of expertise caused him in 1841 to open the first Lavigne cutting courses, ancestors of the ESMOD school, where apprentice tailors would come to train.
