Collaborations · Partnerships
Partnering with renowned institutions enhances the learning experience
The ESAD Fashion Design course has established itself as a communicative platform between the creative design process and numerous other areas that encompass it, such as industry, culture, and society. Through a collaborative approach, we have been developing a network of dynamic and proactive partners, aiming for mutual benefit and alignment of our values - promoting critical and technological thinking, challenging the boundaries of common thought. We aim to identify new project opportunities and initiatives where companies assert themselves and develop close relationships, as is the case with Troficolor, Lemar, Tintex, Novoli, and Valérius Têxteis. Institutional partnerships allow us to expand ESAD's mission, exploring points of convergence with local entities such as Matosinhos City Council, the Incubator of Fábrica de Santo Thyrso, the Design Museum, Portugal Fashion, and Citeve.
