Another good fashion school is International Fashion Academy (IFA Paris). I have just finished studying the BA in Fashion design, which was a great program because it offers you the chance to study european fashion trends by studying in Paris and even while in Shanghai (should you choose to study there too) you will always be taught by highly qualified French instructors.
I am now going on to do the MA in Fashion Business & Retail there, well half with IFA Paris, Shanghai, and half in Polimoda fashion school, Florence.
