École Duperré

École Duperré

L'École supérieure des arts appliqués Duperré is a public institution in Paris, located in the Marais district. Heir to a drawing school founded in the 19th century and long oriented towards textile trades, it is now part of the network of the grandes écoles d'arts appliqués of Paris, alongside Estienne, Boulle and Olivier de Serres.

Programs and disciplines

Duperré is recognized for its specialties related to fashion, textiles and materials: knitting, weaving, printing, embroidery, but also ceramics, object design, space design and visual communication.

The main curriculum is the DN MADE (diplôme national des métiers d'art et du design, grade licence), offered in several mentions. The school also offers master's-level programs of the DSAA type, as well as CAP/diplômes de métiers d'art tracks depending on the year.

Strengths

• Teaching deeply rooted in studio practice and material experimentation, particularly in textiles.
• Public status: tuition fees remain those of public higher education.
• Regular ties with fashion houses, textile publishers and Parisian cultural institutions.

Admission is based on an application via Parcoursup for the DN MADE, with a high level of selectivity; a solid personal body of work (portfolio, drawing, artistic research) is expected.
