Arts Of Fashion Foundation
The Arts of Fashion Foundation is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to international cultural exchanges through a variety of events meant to facilitate critical thinking among artists, designers, scholars and students as well. The debates and seminars such as the Tandem Series, the exhibitions of young rising talents such as the Carte Blanche Series and International Fashion Contests such as AF Competition, are all vehicles of promoting avant-garde and progressive cultural movements.

Nathalie Doucet - Arts Of Fashion President
Nathalie Doucet earned a Master's degree in Textile and Fashion Management at Institut Francais de la Mode (IFM) (1996). She then joined the Agency Houeix and was responsible for promotional events and merchandising for clients such as Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Boucheron.

Since January 2002, Doucet has been responsible for the American selection for the Concours International des Jeunes Createurs de Mode from Paris, founded by Air France and the French Federation of Couture.
