Our Mission 💚

We founded our school in 2004 with a mission to create a better future for fashion – more responsible and ethical. Our goal is not only to quickly prepare certified fashion designers for the market with a strong emphasis on sustainable fashion education, but also to actively support non-profit initiatives through our MSKPU community. As part of these activities, we support projects such as wolf protection, to which we donate monthly, and the planting of micro-forests in the fight against environmental degradation.

As one of the first schools in Europe, we eliminated animal-derived materials from our projects, long ago committing to cruelty-free fashion. Additionally, we were pioneers in integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as one of the key subjects in our curriculum, making it an integral part of our students’ education.

We are proud to have won the highest fashion awards in Poland and received Vogue Talents honors, while simultaneously pursuing these important social and environmental goals.

Join us on this exciting journey and help shape the future of fashion under the guidance of internationally recognized professors, while discovering the beauty and dynamism of Poland.
