At present, the university has 60 students from over 15 countries. Esmod's students have won several major industry distinctions, including the Swarovski Young Designer of the Year Award and the Swarovski Innovation Award.
The University has also been a strong presence in prestigious events such as the Dubai International Fashion Week, the Bride Show Dubai, and several cultural exhibitions. Thus far, Esmod has hosted and participated in more than eight other fashion shows.
Most recently, the university has established partnerships with French fabric manufacturers Jabouley Dentelle, Andre Avio, Tissages De L'aigle, Franfitex, Verne & Clet, Togonal, Peltex, Stock Union, Wed, Avelana, Sofitela, and Philea to give its students access to fabrics that are otherwise unavailable in the UAE.
Esmod's leadership in fashion education is highlighted by the entry of more experts to its faculty in the 2008-2009 school year.
These French professionals – all certified by Esmod Paris – are expected to uphold the university's focus on fashion as a vital element of sophisticated lifestyles.
