France's most remarkable fashion museum is committed to showcasing not only the designs themselves, but also the professions and Savoir-faire that have always underpinned them. This is achieved through exhibitions and partnerships that demonstrate the vitality of fashion today, over and above its historical heritage.

For over 50 years, Manufacture de Peausserie de Luxe (MPL) has been crafting leather goods for the luxury ready-to-wear market, in a space where the material imposes its laws and where trust seals collaborations. Here, leather is more than just a material: it dictates requirements, technicality and rhythm. In a sector where excellence comes down to detail, the atelier has carved out a place for itself at the crossroads of craftsmanship and luxury standards.

In this workshop, home to textile activities since the XIXᵉ century, feathers are worked like a lively, rare and demanding material. Now a place of design, the Marcy Feather Worker workshop perpetuates an exceptional art profession, at the crossroads of Haute Couture, performing arts and craftsmanship of excellence.

While the other two establishments of the former La Fabrique have closed, the École Supérieure de l'Industrie du Vêtement (ESIV) is as lively as ever, still popular with companies and students alike, and with new courses!

Under the vaults of the Viaduc des Arts, La Fabrique Nomade brings, through a human and creative vision, the possibility for refugee and migrant artisans to find not only a profession, but also dignity and meaning. Since it was founded in 2016 by Inès Mesmar, the association has been deploying a professional integration model that enhances exceptional savoir-faire in the hands of people from many countries and connects them to the French market.

At the fifth edition of De(ux) Mains du Luxe, the Comité Colbert invited schoolchildren and the general public to discover the sector's indissociable savoir-faire, particularly that of the apparel industry, and how to join companies that are recruiting.
