What our students say
TALLER taught me that I am capable of anything I set my mind to, that I have many abilities, talents, and that I can do it. Above all, it showed me that I have my own style with which I can change the world.
This educational institution aims to transform the way education operates in our country by fostering the productive, creative, and competitive development of students within the fashion industry in Mexico. Whether you're a student or a professional, Taller FDP has something for you.
Conversations go beyond mere trends and delve into economics, production processes, textile biases, the genuine history behind aesthetics, and a somewhat unfamiliar or misunderstood word within Mexican fashion circles: "market." (...) TALLER aims to formulate a response to the challenges facing the industry, addressing issues from creation to commercialization.
