de Lingerie Academie was founded in 2017 by Sabine Janssens, lingerie designer and teacher
With her many years of experience (since 2006) she develops lingerie patterns and courses. With De Lingerie Academie she wants to pass on her passion for lingerie making.
De Lingerie Academie consists of talented people with creativity and passion for making lingerie.
Each teacher contributes something unique, and they are all equally committed to delivering high-quality workshops.
We are the only faculty in Flanders that offers the professional bachelor programme in Fashion Technology. This programme is an excellent basis for a successful career in the clothing and fashion industry. Our graduates function at a (sub-)top management level as production manager, quality manager, product manager, purchaser or head of the patterning department.
Our courses include fashion, production control, pattern design, industry related software packages such as CAD-CAM and ERP, textile technology, logistics, marketing, safety management and foreign languages. By participating in several projects our students get accustomed to the collaboration between several disciplines and different people while training their innovative qualities.
In recent years, the clothing and fashion industry has become a knowledge-based industry. The value chain is also crucial to this industry. Despite increasing fierce global competition and the relocation of production to low-wage countries, it continues to be an important aspect of the industry in Flanders and Europe. In order to provide course curricula that meet these requirements, we work in close collaboration with companies throughout the entire value chain both on national and on international level.
Studeren aan de afdeling mode vereist een grote inzet. Er wordt gestart met mode-figuurtekenen. Daarna wordt er geëxperimenteerd met baalkatoen om tot nieuwe stoftexturen te komen. Er wordt gewerkt rond het historisch kostuum, etnische groepen, zelfgekozen thema’s. Elk kledingstuk is het resultaat van een diepgaand onderzoek. Aan het einde van de cursus wordt geleerd om een portfolio samen te stellen waarmee je in de modewereld kan aantonen dat je zelfstandig een collectie kan ontwerpen. Het hoogtepunt is de presentatie van de eigen afgewerkte collectie gepresenteerd op een originele locatie met als sluitstuk de wervelende en hoog gewaardeerde modeshow met nationale uitstraling (klik hier voor meer info over de modeshow).
