The Fashion Institute of the Philippines brings back face-to-face classes
Fashion evolves with the times. It has always been one of the many physical manifestations of the beat of society. And when the pandemic called for a digital exodus, fashion became more alive on the internet through a multitude of virtual runway shows, e-commerce websites, and even the presence of URL clothing in the metaverse. Another aspect of it that took a digital leap is fashion education.
Among the many local fashion schools returning to in-person classes is Fashion Institute of the Philippines . Apart from its comeback to its pre-pandemic setup, the school is also inviting upcoming students to explore its new home in Jollibee Plaza in Ortigas.“Like many businesses during the pandemic, the school decided to transfer most of its courses online due to the temporary closing of the physical space.
During the pandemic, the school was able to bring its mission of honing future leaders of Philippine fashion by transitioning its classes online as early as June 2020, making it one of the first schools to do online fashion education in the country, according to Patrick. This led the school to widen its reach, teaching students from different parts of the country and other nations like Taiwan, Singapore, and the UAE.
“Fashion is not just visceral, it requires handwork and direct supervision from instructors and mentors. Classes like sewing, draping, and couture techniques need a discerning eye to evaluate the student’s work,” Patrick says. “We believe FIP has made fashion education approachable and easy to learn. Our founder would always say, the FIP is open to everyone and anyone, as long as you have the passion or the desire for fashion,” he adds. “This fuels the students to explore opportunities and grow. The school acts as a conduit for the students to push their boundaries while being technically trained in patternmaking and sewing. A holistic and balanced approach to creativity and technical prowess.
