PCA is based in a beautifully refurbished historic building in the culturally rich 10th arrondissement, full of art studios, textile stores, creative agencies, and myriad cafes and restaurants. PCA’s close connections with the local art and fashion scenes allow students unique opportunities for hands-on engagement with fashion shows, gallery events and local artists as an extension of the classroom. PCA’s student body is truly international, with over 40 nationalities represented. Such diversity adds to the richness of discussion and creative output of the institution, while bringing a cosmopolitan feel into every classroom. Students are encouraged to explore their creativity and hone their skills in one of the great cross-roads of Europe, a city which has served as a Muse to some of the West’s greatest creative minds of the past four centuries.
