Fashion design training
with top professorsThe Show Angewandte was initiated in order to enable students to present their creations
within the context of a professional fashion show. The most promising talents of the Fashion Department at Angewandte – the
only Austrian institution offering a university-level diploma in the field of fashion design – show their collections that
have been created under the guidance of internationally renowned fashion designer and professor of the department, Hussein
Chalayan. The Show Angewandte has become one of the biggest and most demanded fashion shows in the country. It is widely known
nationally as well as internationally not only among fashion experts and has achieved excellent reputation over the years.
Since the early 1980s the chair of the fashion class has been filled by international fashion stars
in high demand such as Karl Lagerfeld, Jil Sander, Vivienne Westwood, Helmut Lang, Raf Simons, Viktor & Rolf, Bernhard
Willhelm or – like the present head of the class – Hussein Chalayan. Graduates of the fashion class have gone on
to create their own labels such as Sagan Vienna, Bless, GON, Petar Petrov, Ute Ploier oder Wendy&Jim, have assumed top-level
positions in the Austrian and international fashion sector or with renowned fashion companies such as Balenciaga, COMME des
GARÇONS, J.W. Anderson, Lanvin, Prada, Louis Vuitton, to name only a few.
