As part of the training in fashion design and fashion creation developed within the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts and the idea of regularly bringing together enthusiasts and enthusiasts of the fashion world, the School of Fashion at Alba organizes the weekly screening of a documentary or fashion film; between history, anecdotes, portraits and reports, the projections aim to question and cultivate one's view of fashion.

Instead of rejecting the antifashion graft, fashion will digest it, and will never be the same again.
